Prji it is mentioned in mahabharat that there on the battlefield of kurushetra there are 64 crore peoples, but if you today see the area of kurushetra is small compare to battlefield population , how it is possible?

Why Drona accepted Duryodhana his student but not Eklavya?

In your answer to the question “Can you kindly clarify the position of Eklavya?”, you mentioned that “Eklavya had the competence to become a great archer, but not the character. And Drona told him that he will not educate him, not just only because he was not born in the kshatriya family but because he had character deficiency.”However we see that Drona had no hesitation in imparting knowledge to characterless Duryodhanda, although Dronacharya was very much aware about the character of Duryodhana. Drona asked Eklavya for this right thumb because he thought that Ekalavya would misuse his knowledge. The same logic he could have applied for Duryodhana also. Why was Dronacharya very selective in applying the “Principle of Character”?
