Real question is : why didn't shriram give up the throne to be with Sita Mata ? Why was the kingdom so important to him ? He could had passed on the responsibility of becoming a king to Any of his three glorious brothers . Can anyone answer ?
Ram felt that Serving the people was more important than giving up the throne for Sita. But he knew that what he is doing is Adharma, but if he ignored the people he is also doing Adharma.
