Every story and every occurrence in Hindu mythology is usually a story about the Devas (good) trying to stop the Asuras (evil) from creating havoc for the mortals on earth. However, neither side permanently wins.

The peace that follows the defeat of an Asura is only a temporary reprieve. Soon, a new Asura appears and repeats the cycle of war. War almost seems like a reaction to peace and vice-versa. In fact, it might appear that the existence of Asuras is almost necessary for the world. Would the world stop existing in perpetual peace?

Devas vs Asuras is an analysis of this very question by Devdutt Pattanaik, the master of mythology. Read on.
