Everyone in India know what was the talking point for last 2 weeks. IPL, Should it happen in India or not. Almost all the papers and news channels had a coverage on this during their prime time. At times, they gone overboard too. During this period, I read an article in one of the leading English daily which is just upto the point. Its written in a manner that no one can feel offensive about it. The message it conveyed was “IPL Should be either played later or Out of the country, It should not be allowed to clash with the General Elections, As it is the top priority for the country”. I read some other articles too that conveyed the same message but they unnecessarily try to tarnish the image of few individuals linked with IPL. We all know there is nothing called “Free Lunch” in this world, then why unnecessarily pointing fingers to IPL stating they care only about Money and all. Why don’t we understand that IPL is a business run by entrepreneurs, all they look for is balance sheet at the end of the year to view its profit/loss. If they don’t do that, other stake holders will hold them responsible for all the mishandling. For them, staging IPL is much more important than anything else. This is pure commonsense, I don’t understand why most of the article writers or chatters in talk show don’t understand this…
I had a feeling right from the beginning of this episode that IPL will not be staged in April-May because government was pretty clear on its message that it cannot share para military forces for security because of general elections. So, all this unnecessary barking has just increased the ratings for prime time shows rather than anything else.
I felt really happy that at least one writer’s Commonsense has prevailed and kept his writing just to the point and not to anything else.
