The Bhagavata Purana mentions that Ekalavya assisted Jarasandha, when he attacked Mathura, to take revenge of the death of Kansa.In this battle Ekalavya was killed by Lord Krishna, because Krishna knew about the future war of Mahabharat
war of Mahabharat
The Kurukshetra War (Sanskrit: कुरुक्षेत्र युद्ध ), also called the Mahabharata War, is a war described in the Indian epic poem The Mahābhārata (Sanskrit: महाभारत ). The conflict arose from a dynastic succession struggle between two groups of cousins, the Kauravas and the Pandavas, for the throne of Hastinapura.
Note that, later, Krishna killed Ekalavya. Note that Ekalavya's son fought on the Kaurava side in the Kurukshetra war. In other words, Hiranyadhanu and Ekalavya were on the “wrong” side.
Lord Krishna killed Eklavya. He belonged to Magadh, a rival of Yadhav clan. They used to wage wars against Yadhavas and in one such war Lord Krishna killed Eklavya who fought for his land. Do we have the original Mahabharata, which was written by Ved Vyas?
Dronacharya, one of the best gurus of the Dwapar era, is accused of caste discrimination, contempt for Karna and Eklavya and of denying education. A large crowd is seen in support of this allegation and humiliating Drona as guilty. Yes, today we find this account somewhat harsh, unfair and cruel.
Who was Eklavya in his previous birth? Shraddha, First of all Eklavya was a Nishada prince but you know that Damayanti was also the queen of Nala a Nishada king.

Who was Duryodhana in his next birth?
The eldest Kaurava was Duryodhana. His best friend was Karna. Karna was actually the eldest son of Kunti, the mother of the Pandavas. Because of circumstances, he was brought up as the son of charioteer.
Karna, being older than Arjuna by 10 + years, might be better Archer than Arjuna until Arjuna was an infant. Once Arjuna entered Gurukul of Drona, He excelled in Archery within no time and became better Archer, by big margin, than any other student in Gurukul including Karna who was much elder than Arjuna.
Arjuna was jealous of Ekalavya because he was a kid at that time and it is natural for kids to feel jealous. Arjuna did not destroy Ekalavya's life. It was upto Drona to decide how he would fulfill his promise of making Arjuna the best archer and he chose to do what he thought was necessary.
As per folklore, this is the only temple of Ekalavya and it is the place where Ekalavya cut his thumb and offered to guru Drona. In honour of Ekalavya, the Government of India runs an Ekalavya Model Residential School (EMRS) model residential school scheme for Indian tribals.
Yes, Karna is also student of Dronacharya. “The Vrishnis and the Andhakas, and princes from various lands, and the (adopted) son of Radha of the Suta caste, (Karna), all became pupils of Drona.
In Drona parva Lord Krishna himself confirmed to Lord Arjuna that he himself killed Ekalavya. Ekalavya was supporting Lord Jarasandha and Shishupala while Lord Krishna was eloping with Rukmini Devi . Angered Krishna hurt Ekalavya with a large stone to his head. Ekalvya was dead .
Ekalavya was a tribal, not an upper caste like Drona's students, the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Drona rejected Ekalavya, an aspirational student, because he didn't have the right family background. He later did the same thing to Karna.
yes. eklavya was born to Devashrava, son of King Shursen (and real brother to vasudeva and kunti). but devashrava abandoned him and later was adopted by nishad tribe leader, Hiranyadhanus. this means he was cousin to pandavas, kauravas, karna, lord Krishna and Shishupal.
No he was not. Firstly the fact that he is a reincarnation of Eklavya is not true. Eklavya was killed by Shri Krishna so he attained Moksha. Dhrishtadhyumna was the son born out of a yagya to Drupad.
Rukmi was not accepted by Arjuna or Duryodhana as an ally in the Kurukshetra War, because of his boastfulness. Thus Rukmi's Vidarbha army stayed away from the Kurukshetra War, becoming a neutral army in the encounter between the Kauravas and the Pandavas.
The most important characters of Mahabharata can be said to include: Krishna; the Pandavas — Yudhishthira, Bheema, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva, along with their wife Draupadi; and the Kauravas (who were a hundred brothers), led by the eldest brother, Duryodhana.
The answer is very simple it's Eklavya. With all due respect to the best archer Arjuna but Eklavya lost his thumb only so that Arjuna can be the best answer , this itself tells you the answer . Both Arjuna and Drona were astonished when they saw Eklavya practising in the jungle .
When Drona came to know this, he blessed the boy silently and begged for divine forgiveness. And true to Drona's blessing, Eklavya is still praised as the most loyal and brave student in the epic of Mahabharata. Moral: Any knowledge Teacher gives to Student has value in life of a Student as he goes on with life.
He replied, “I am blessed that you have asked me for guru dakshina. I would never refuse anything that you ask.” Dronacharya seized his chance, “Eklavya, as guru dakshina, you have to give me your right thumb.” Everyone was shocked, even Arjuna.
He did not cheat anywhere. He just played smart. Kauravas played unethically and killed Abhimanyu in the Chakravyuh. This triggered the anger in the pandavas camp and then they bend the rules to win the battle.
Parashurama's curse on Karna | Amar Chitra Katha. By Aditya Sen With misty eyes, Kunti saw her firstborn son float away. She stood there, feet dug into the ground as she watched her child flow away with the mighty Ganga.
Being spurred by Krishna, then Arjuna used Anjalikastra to kill Karna which cut the head of Karna, leading to his death. Arjuna had to kill Karna in such a kind of situation only because Karna had banes from Goddess Earth and poor brahmin.
Arjuna actually defeated Karna thrice in the Mahabharat. 1. ) First time was during Yudhisthira's Rajasuya Yagna when his brothers went and conquered all of Bharatvarsh. Karna was defeated and had to accept Yudhisthira's reign, along with all the other Kings.
