That's why it makes more sense if they would coronate Vibhishana as their king as he was immortal just like Visnu, Indra and the Devas etc. I don't consider the Raksasas sinful but i do believe that it would make more sense for them to make the same man (Vibhishan) their king that achieved the same gift (immortality) that they never ever achieved. That not even Ravan could achieve. | |

Both Ravana & Vibhishan were half Rakashas & half Brahmin.. As Vibhishan never wanted to go against righteous life..to an extent he didn't live like a Rakashas.. 3. Vibhishan was more righteous than Ravana but not more powerful.. as said earlier immortality doesn't make someone more powerful? After all Rakshasas wanted a powerful leader not righteous one.. if Vibhishan would hv been king he could hv killed those sinful Rakshasas first... | |

Some sources say he had more elder brothers like Sahastra Ravan & Ahiravan. So the whole elder brother younger brother trust and respect theories don't mean much. 2. The difference is that Vibhishana cannot die but Ravan can. Vibhishan is protected from death at the hands of ALL life forms. 3. In my question their would be a what-if-scenario that Vibhishan would be forced to become the ruler as all Raksasas will realize that he is the foremost. That Ravan would willfully give the throne to Vibhishan. | |
