T. P. Kailasam was a prominent writer of Kannad literature.
He was born in 1884, in Tamil family.
Kailasam focused tradition on contemporary social problems.
He has written many plays like fulfillment, purpose, karna and kichak, the Burdon.
The purpose is taken from the Mahabharata.
Introduction of Auther
Main character of the play is Arjun and Eklavya.
Eklavya is the protagonist. His character was marginalized in the real Mahabharata by ved vyas.

Being a common man Eklavya suffers a lot. He faces all problems and comes out with flying color and emerges as the tragic hero of the play.
A Nishaada boy wanted to learn archery not for his personal ambition but he wanted to protect and save animals.
In the second act Eklavya is far better than Arjuna and he is a self learner.
He learned archery by making the icon of Drona so in gurudakshina Eklavya gave his right hand’s thumb.
Overlooked character of Eklavya

Poor and workers are suppressed and marginalized.
Because of Indian caste and creed system talented person is not equally seen.
