Performing in the Storm : 2. { The beautiful Indian epic The Ramayana is replete with illustrations of how one can act amidst a storm. Under the rule of King Dasharatha, the city of Ayodhya – which literally translates as the land of ‘no conflict’– was the perfect place to live. }

King Dasharatha, bound by a commitment to one of his queens, Kaikeyi, became utterly ineffectual.
Rama had to go into exile for fourteen years, relinquishing the throne in favour of Kaikeyi’s son Bharat.

While Rama’s wife Sita and his brother Lakshman took it upon themselves to go with him, the city’s people, aghast at their king’s indiscretion, became totally disillusioned.

Dasharatha, the pride of the Solar dynasty, was defeated and distraught.

Conflict abounded. Should the citizens maintain allegiance to King Dasharatha or rally around his son Rama?

Should the younger prince Bharat be made sovereign?

If Bharat ascends the throne without the people’s mandate, would he still be a legitimate ruler?
Worse yet, might he become a tyrant?
