Valmiki Ramayana, the great epic of Hindus depicts the duties of relationships, portraying ideal characters like the ideal father, ideal servant, the ideal brother, the ideal wife and the ideal king. One such ideal brother who tried to bring Ravana to a Dharmic life is Vibhishana.
Ravana’s brother Vibhishana was a sattwik who never strayed from the path of Dharma. When Ravana kidnapped and abducted Sita, Vibhishana requested his brother to send her back with all honor. Though born among the Rakshasas Vibhishana was noble in character. He fought for Dharma, so he left Lanka and joined Rama’s army. He revealed all secrets of Lanka to Rama which helped Rama to win the battle. He was not a traitor to his country, but fought for truth and Dharma. He showed Ravana the right thing but when he refused to obey he wanted to end the Adharma of the abduction of Sita.
After he won the war, Rama made Vibhishana the king of Lanka and he tried to turn his subjects from the path of evil to the path of good and Dharma
