In one of the most embarassing situations we could have got ourselves into, India was termed unsafe to host the Davis Cup which India had been hosting religiously since quite somee time. In a first of a kind scene, security concern being the cause of stripping a sporting tournament has been seen in the context of India.
Mr. Lalit Modi should realize that IPL wasn't just a monye minting factory but something more than that. It was the country's premium sporting event. It was an answer to England's EPL and America's NBA and then we lose everything. National pride as well rich revenue sunk. Pride in the sense both the exclusivity as well confidence (in the context of security). So are we safe in our country in the question we should ask ourselves.
It's also a matter of shame that the national Government could not do anything to stop this non sense from happening even as many BJP governed states were ready to host the IPL and that an alternate solution was available. But instead of giving BJP brownie points, the UPA Government did not act and noww the result is for everyone to see.
And hence, I have decided to boycott the IPL until it comes back to India and ask everyone to do the same. And last but not least, we are assured by PM Manmohan Singh that he will transform Mumbai into Shanghai. (Hope it won't be the way he is transforming a stable secure India into an insecure Pakistan)
