As a very Cruel and mean teacher, and more of that if he didn't tech eklavya, he didn't deserve to take a gurudakshina from him...

Abhishek Singh is right.
My understanding is that Arjun put the teacher up to it.
Arjun was generous, but even saint can be ill motivated some times. In the end it was up to the Guru. But Guru was partial to the pupil who had well earned gurujee's respect.
Guru might have considered Eklavya a thief, stealing the knowledge. I believe that knowledge should be given eve Free, to those who crave for it, and that is why I am on this site answering the Q?.
No Q? is dumb only some of my answers may be dumb.

seeking help with home work???
drona has the responsiblity of training the princes to be the best warriors, archerers in the kingdom so he uses everything, (sam dam dand bhed) to make sure he achieves his goal.
although, in modern sense eklavya seems like the victim but if put in historical context and the guru-shishya relationship of the time, drona's actions can be justified. eklavya stole the education.

CYA ( covering your *** ) policy. In case he had not asked eklavya's thumb , he would have proved to be a better archer than arjun and siblings... thereby eroding drona's esteem and pride as an instructor to royal family
