Literally Slave Culture
by Lopesh Desai on Feb 22, 2008 11:44 AM

IPL iis a good platform for cricket players, and the franchise's to make a quick buck. The actual fact is that a lot of bigwigs have been involved and definitely a large scale business proposition is in the pipeline. There are other sports which need to be addressed seriouslyThe auctioning of the cricket players reminds me of the days of Arabian nights where the women slaves were auctioned and the rich men were bidding. Though there is plenty of money for the players, somehow it looks demeaning because they are sold like fattened animals. We cannot allow ourselves to be handled like inanimate products which need to be advertised to be sold in the market. If these franchise's are speaking about passion then our national game hockey should have been given more importance.
