The recent IPL - fiasco has paled all other news items like the failed space mission, the PM's US visit and thankfully the SANIA Saga.
The source of funds of the IPL team owners have never been probed. If the common man were to make certain purchases through the credit card in excess of prescribed limits the Income Tax Dept would promptly despatch a notice asking for source of funds etc.
But the law is only for the common man it appears. The rich and powerful get away easily.
The revenue stream of the IPL teams is not known. Whether the IPL is a front for Havala transactions needs to be looked into. With Mafia and political power coming in ; it certainly will no longer be cricket any more....

Chinese Checkers
The intent of the Chinese Government to be-little India and its efforts for peace in the region has taken a new dimension now. An attempt to de-link Jammu & Kashmir from the Indian Union has come to the limelight ,by their exercise of issuing paper Visa to Kashmiris rather than stamp the passport which is the normal practice with Indian Citizens.
The Indian Government predictablyhas once again downplayed this issue instead of taking it up strongly with the Chinese Authorities.
The Foreign Ministry has not even called up the chinese diplomats at New Delhi.
The Indian Government behaviour on the China front has puzzled many of its citizens.
The question that begs an answer is "Why are we running shy of China ?"
Hope our countrymen will muse over this poser

South Africa Cricket Fiasco
The Indian Team's performance at the Champion's Trophy at South Africa has left much to be desired . The arrongance of Wealth has made the cricketeers lose their focus. There is no focus on performance.Also there is lack of committment and accountability.The BCCI is also lackadasial in its approach to discpline and Cricket in general.
A new trend among players is observed nowadays , there is a lot of back patting and praise amongst the players and it appears that there is groupism amongst players in order to ensure that the same gang stays selected.
It is time the Government looks into this issue after all the so called autonomy from Government does not exist as a large number Politicans are heading most of the Sports Association.
The Bench strength of the Indian Team is pathetic and no attempt is made to ensure entry of new players.
Attempt to garner talent at grassroot level does not exist as enough is not done to hold authentic BCCI recognised tournaments to encourage raw talent at this level.
At this rate the BCCI will continue to BULLY the ICC due to its wealth and the arrongance of these players will sound the Death Knell of Indian Cricket.
