Journalists of the english press in India seem very well educated but such is their belief in their superior knowledge that they tend to pontificate about every subject as though everyone else is an idiot. Such has been the reaction to the IPL, a T20 cricket tournament organised by the BCCI every year in which teams are assembled by buying players in an auction resulting in teams with players of diverse countries. The teams are owned by wealthy individuals, industrialists and Bollywood actors. This year Pakistani players were invited to submit their names but were not bid for. The conceited journalists are of the opinion that the Pakis have been slighted and that it was wrong. This is at a time when India is being warned of increased threats of terrorist attacks from Pakistan. Pakistani government is on record as stating that if Pakistan is attacked by any country, not just India, it will use nuclear weapons on India. Why then should we allow Pakis to make money from the Indian public. Also since the teams are owned by individuals surely they have a right to spend their own money any which way they choose without having to give any explanations for their choice. Unfortunately these freeloading journalists, in their efforts to please their political masters, are not only wrong but guilty of treachery as well.
