IPL is a nice way of seeing our bowlers getting raped without having the guilt feeling and our players getting rewards for some explosive fireworks done by Firangi players. For a country divided on grounds of caste,creed,religion.regionalism etc. for which national cricket team was one odd source of national integration, it is nice to have the divided regional feeling again, what if some already rich blokes make some more doughs. Let us rekindle the memories wherein our non-existent balkanised country was enslaved because we were divided. ENCORE!!!

it is rubbish to say IPL will balkanize the country. How is it that Dhoni captaining chennai, srisanth playing for Punjab, utappa playing for Mumbai, and what the heck, didn't you see ponting hugging ganguly and Yuvraj jumping over Brett Lee and the like. Looking at the positive aspects, it will lessen the cultural divide between players, not only between Indian players, but also foreign players and Indian players.

Sameer. I disagree with you the cultural divide between international players might disappear but our indian divided mentality comes to the fore at every possible chance. just go back to the Rajasthan vs punjab sreesanth uttered some nonsense to Kamran Akmal ( pakistani ) the whole stadium started shouting sreesanth hai hai !! bridging the cultural divide lol
