Ramayana contains in it three important battles.

 

1. The battle between Vali and Sugreeva.

2. The battle between Vibheeshana and Ravana.

3. The battle between Bharatha and Rama.

 

Sugreeva asked for Rama's help, had Vali killed, and took over the kingdom. Vibheeshana surrendered to Rama, fought against his brother Ravana, helped Rama to kill Ravana, and became the king of Lanka.

 

In stark contrast, both Bharatha and Rama 'fought' that the other be made the king! Rama vowed that he would not enter Ayodhya for fourteen years and hence commanded Bharatha to be king. Bharatha was equally firm and said that, as long as Rama did not enter Ayodhya, he also would not enter the city. Instead, he would wait for Rama to be the king! This 'battle' is highly dharmic, as opposed to the other two.
