IPL - Indian Premier/Political League, has transformed cricket into a billion dollar entertainment industry. Good for them !!!
Many villages and cities in India are facing acute power crisis, and here you have in the name of IPL, power being lavishly consumed; be it flood lights at the stadiums or the millions of TV sets.
Spare a thought for the people who have hours of power cuts, in this scorching summer!!!.
PS: You might argue, they are paying tax to the government (debatable though!!), but my point is, Is it really needed? It just helps the rich to get richer. IPL has demoted cricket to a page3 item.

i never heard you say the same about EPL or champions league..
and demoted cricket? well, its just a game.. and a game is forever a means of entertainment..
if the prob is cheergirls, then i think NBA, Baseball leagues already have them.. (its not an excuse... but again i did not hear people complaining about it before IPL introduced them..)
And finally may i ask you? Do you switch off ur tv so that it would atleast save a trickle of power , when IPL is going on? If you are not a cricket fan, then question doesn't apply... :D
Well I am a die hard cricket fan, but I would/did switch it off. I am nt bluffing.It boils down to our own social obligation.
I m in no way referring to cheer girls. IPL fashion show, IPL parties etc has demoted cricket from sports page to page 3!!! tat s wat i meant..
A very relevant video on this issue.
