 When conditions were beyond redemption and when the Statehood had to be taken proper care of, the onus was on Vibishana to accept the throne for it was left to him and to him alone to rebuild and reconstruct the island. And that was a responsibility he fulfilled very creditably. We see evidences of the prosperity that the island attained under his rule, even in the other epic, Mahabharata. When Dharmaputra decided to perform the Rajasuya yaga, Sahadeva sends Gadodhgaja, the son of Bhima to Vibishana as an emissary of Dharmaputra to collect his tributes for the yaga. Vibishana gladly does so, having heard of Sri Krishna and knowing that he was the reincarnation of his very own Rama.
 Let’s get back to the story with these justifications – that of Vibishana and ours – that should set at naught the age-old arguments against him.

 Vibishana turned towards Lakshmana and said, ‘viRal kezhu pOr vidalayai ini idai vidal <br>uLadhEl, soodali thuru malar vaagai.’ If you do not kill this most valiant young warrior immediately and now, you will never be able to do so forever.

 The last battle of Indrajit was remarkable but I reserve a detailed study of it for a later date when we study his character. He was now fighting Lakshmana with the full knowledge it would be next to impossible to quell this grand hero. His mind was now convinced that it was fair, right and proper to send back Sita. Wise people see truth in its right perspective right at the beginning. For others, the realisation that the foe is of a stronger metal probably opens their eyes.

+‘You have achieved a tremendous feat Lakshmana’ says Valmiki’s Rama. “A feat which was supremely beneficial has been accomplished by you, whose exploits are difficult to perform for others. I account Ravana killed in combat now that his son has been made short work of. I am victorious today inasmuch as that evil-minded adversary (of ours) has been despatched. Luckily enough, O hero, has the right arm of the merciless Ravana has been actually severed by you. Indeed Indrajit was his sheet anchor. A remarkable exploit was performed (even) by Vibishana and Hanuman on the field of battle. (Valmiki Ramayana, Canto 91, Sloka 13-15)

 Kamban pays a rich tribute to Vibishana when he makes a grateful Rama say, ‘aadavar thilaka ninnaal andru.’ This was not due to you, O gem among men! ‘anuman ennum sEdanaal andru.’ Nor was it due to Hanuman, the strongest. ‘vEru Or dheivathin siRappum andru.’ It was due nor to the grace of any other God. ‘veedaNan thandha vendri eedhu.’ The credit for this victory goes entirely to Vibishana.
 Such rich acknowledgement from the very same Rama who said, ‘keduthanai Veedana nee.’ It was you who spoilt everything Vibishana, when Lakshmana was stung by the serpent noose let loose by Indrajit. (See Tears of Love) Though Vibishana did not show any sign of being hurt by those words and though Rama’s harsh words were not born out of any deep seated hard feeling, Rama makes it a point to praise Vibishana at the right time, acknowledging his role and giving due credit for the vital information and support he extended. In the process he went even to the extent of rating Lakshmana’s role as secondary, notwithstanding the fact that he had to fight with Indrajit with lot of preconditions on the use of specific weapons, proscribed by Rama even when those were used against him. But what is due is due and has to be acknowledged at the right time. That is a lesson for all persons who lead a team. Censure when you have to. But remember to soften the effect at the right time, for the right attitude and for the right achievement.
 A grieved Ravana soon collected himself and sent word for his reserve forces all over the globe (moola bala sainya). That was a frightful army that Ravana did not think of using against these ‘puny creatures’ at all. He considered it below his dignity to use such a powerful force against humans and monkeys. It was like killing a fly with a sledgehammer, for him. In fact, Kumbakarna had advised him otherwise. If you have decided to fight against them, then the better strategy would be to collect all our forces together. ‘pandhiyir pandhiyir padagaLai vittu avai sindhudal kaNdu nee irundhu thEmbudal mandhiram andru.’ It is not right to send our army in small lots convenient enough for them to wipe off and to weep over their death. ‘nam vali elaam udan undhudal kadan.’ It is of utmost importance to collect all our forces here and now and go to the field in such vast numbers so that it becomes difficult for them to encounter such a vast army.
 Ravana felt slighted at that suggestion. He was angry with Kumbakarna for having uttered such words to Ravana the great. He was now left with no alternative but to do so. He sent the reserve forces to the war, on the next day of the war, following the death of Indrajit.
 That is a scene that establishes beyond doubt that Rama could have established a victory over all the ogres, single-handedly, even without the assistance of Sugriva. But certainly not without Vibishana.<br><br>

-We mentioned three questions that are often asked by the critics of Vibishana. ‘What was the necessity for him to join the side of Rama, if he was convinced that Ravana was bad? He could have better remained neutral.’ Yes. There are times when neutrality is a better way. But look at the situation. It was not a war between two countries. It was not a war between two kings who were trying to expand their territorial might. It was the fight between the good and the bad. A person can either be good or be bad. He cannot be neutral. Srinivasa Sastriyar says, “One has no right to be neutral, unless he thinks that both sides are equally good.” What was good and what was not is just obvious.

Srinivasa Sastriyar says, “One has no right to be neutral, unless he thinks that both sides are equally good.” What was good and what was not is just obvious.
 He says, “A man who hesitates when a supreme crisis upon him, when the forces of good are contending against the forces of evil, when the world’s fate is hanging in the balance, when he can serve the cause of the good, can he instead of choosing the right place and the right sphere of action, simply fold his hands and give up his claim to individual life?” Vibishana had the duty to choose between the good and the bad. I wish to reiterate even at the risk of repetition that he first tried all available avenues to mend the ways of his brother, before he took his decision. To put it more appropriately, he was forced to take his decision.
