Deva is associated with Truth , righteousness & peace whereas Asura represents completely opposite side. Interestingly there is a common father of both the group , Rishi Kashyap . Wife of him , Aditi gave birth to Deva & Diti gave birth to Asura. Questions arises that though they are brothers in relation , so why there is always war amongst them? Why there are disputes ?
