No doubt IPL is not a national pride. Being one the largest military nation in the world government shouldn't have refused to provide a security for a domestic tournament. Government refusal has given terrorist a moral boost and sending wrong signals to other nations exposing our nation's incapability to tackle several issues at a time.
PLS DNT ASSOCIATE NATIONAL PRIDE WTH IPL..ITS AN INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENT WTH MANY INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS,AND A COMBO OF BILLION DOLLARS/BEERS/BABES/AND LOADS OF GLAM SHOWS,HOW CAN WE ASSOCIATE INDIA WTH THOSE SEMI-NUDE DANCERS WHO KICK ASS ON EVERY 4s AND 6s DOES THAT SHOWCASE OUR INDIAN CULTURE? IS IT A PRIDE TO INVEST BILLIONS OF RUPEE WHEN MAJORITY OF COUNTRIES ARE ALMOST WASHED OFF DUE TO RECESSION?IF AT ALL LALIT THE LAME NATIONALIST HAS ANY INDIAN VALUES HE COULD HAVE POSTPONED THE IPL AFTER ELECTIONS, LOK SABHA ELECTIONS ARE A V.SERIOUS AND MAKE OR BREAK ELECTIONS AND THIS 1 IS SPECIAL AND IF TODAYS YOUTHS GET ENGAGED IN WATCHING LATE NIGHT MATCHES HOW WILL THEY COME OUT OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE AND VOTE FOR THE RIGHT CANDIDATE? MORE SO WHO ALWEZ EXPECT GOVT TO SECURE US WHY CAN'T WE TAKE SOME CITIZEN INITIATIVES AND PROTECT OUR CONSTITUENCY AND NOT LET ANTI-ELEMENTS MASHROOM?AT THE MOMENT GOVT IS RIGHT AND MODI IS WRONG..BE IT LALIT OR NARENDRA. BOTH R LOOSERS..

India cannot hold IPL, not sure if other countries deny for 2010 Games. They have excuse, you cannot provide protection!

THE GOVERNMENT DIDN'T SAY IT CANNOT PROVIDE SECURITY. BUT BECAUSE OF THE ELECTIONS, IT IS DIFFICULT. GROW UP KID...GROW UP.

Real horrendous cricket fans who think only cricket than anything important in life
Nobody cares if IPL goes to South Africa, but would the South African really be interested to watch this sport like India because it is just a league where different players are playing.
Indian sponsors like TV ads, BCCI, and celebrities, they will be supporting this event even though this event is played out of India.

You are correct.... India cannot hold IPL, not sure if other countries deny for 2010 Games. They have excuse, you cannot provide protection!
THIS TOURNAMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA WOULD GIVE IPL WORLD WIDE COVERAGE. AND THIS IS THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE TO MAKE IPL WORLD FAMOUS.BOLLYWOOD ALSO ARRANGE AWARD FUNCTIONS WORLDWIDE TO GET MORE RECOGNITION. THE SHOW MUST GO ON WHETHER IN INDIA OR ABROAD. IPL IS INTERNATIONAL NOW. CONGRATULATIONS. TERRORISM CAN NOT STOP IPL

the issue is not just about terrorism but host of other issues as well,why every1 wants to march behind IPL?why can't u or I work towords choosing the right candidate and making sure anti-elements dnt mashroom during the course of elections? why alwez hold govt responsible?whts ur duty apart frm a regular viewer of IPL?ur passport and DRIVING LICENSE shows ur IDENTITY as INDIAN okie..so now remember everything comes after nationalism. ?
I must congratulate Mr. Raman to have put forth most sensible thing before readers. IPL wants to preserve tournament for vested interest or not, fact remains that IPL is for Indian Fans. And they are primarily Indians. They have to worry more about India than mere game of cricket. It either shameful to IPL bosses or the fans who are feeling let down. How much more money they will amass and how much more cricket fans need cricket.

Our definitions of for many things has changed since independence, thanks to our political leadership for this, specially congress party. Here money is national pride or cricket or secuirty of country or loksabha elections. BCCI goons should understand importance of elections. For India priority is elections not cricket. so let them go anywhere they want to go. Govt should lay off BCCI and form a new body to control cricket in India. ther should be multiple leagues, give importance to domestic cricket so that we can have domestic heroes, better cricket.
Its a national shame when the media in the west reports that th INDIAN premier league will not be played in India due to SECURITY fears (and not due to the elections clashing with IPL dates). One cannot imagine the English Football League being played in Japan- but then these money mongering worms who run these shows and the great Indian public who support them will probably never bothered about national pride!!! Utterly shameful.
