His people lived a little away from Hastinapura, the capital of the Kuru kings. They used to clean other people&amp;rsquo;s dirt for a profession.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And for this reason they were shunned by society. Ekalavya and other kids of his group knew they too had to follow their parents&amp;rsquo; professions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Their parents often told them, &amp;ldquo;You are not meant to go to school. What use is school for carrying garbage which is your only job?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
