achilles Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I would still imagine them watching it on youtube And making comments after each matches, about instead of that player( anyone who played bad on that day), if they had any of our pakistan players, they could have won the match. We really should not invite any Pakistan players whom will still cry even if do invite them or not. No one cried from India when they banned Bollywood movies. So typical of some Pakistani's :finger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaku Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 No conspiracy to keep Pakistanis out, assert Modi, Shilpa Mumbai, Jan 22 (IANS) Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman and commissioner Lalit Modi and franchise owners Friday vehemently denied that any 'conspiracy' to keep the Pakistani players out of the third edition of the Twenty20 league tournament. Modi and the city-based team owners talked tough, saying they owe no explanation as to why they did not pick any Pakistani player at the auction Tuesday. Conspiracy theories were afloat, accusing the Indian government of influencing franchisees to keep Pakistani players out of the IPL III, leading to a full-scale diplomatic war between the two countries. 'There is no conspiracy theory as is being reported in media. The media is biased at times,' Modi told reporters here. 'We don't owe an explanation. We request people in Pakistan and India to respond with more maturity.' Co-owner of Rajasthan Royals Shilpa Shetty concurred with Modi. 'I request people in India and Pakistan to act maturely. Things have been taken out of proportion.' 'It was not a contrived attempt. We lost out on the best players. We don't owe any explanation anyway.' 'The reasons for dropping (Pakistanis) are understandable in the current scenario. We would like the media and the people to react to such situations more sensibly,' Shilpa said. She also said that the franchisees couldn't provide for the security of the Pakistani players and hence decided against bidding for them in the auction. 'We wanted the players to be in the country and at that point of time we were more worried about security. We did not want to take onus for their security,' she said. Preity Zinta, co-owner of Kings XI Punjab team, said: 'They have just sensationalised the issue. We request the country to collectively handle the situation sensibly.' Modi and the representative of other franchisees were here to address a press conference after a tie-up between IPL and Network 18's entertainment channel Colors for post-match coverage. :giggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan114 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 “The way I see it, the IPL and India have made fun of us and our country by treating us this way,” Afridi said. “We are the Twenty20 World Champions and for me the attitude of the franchises was disappointing. I feel bad for the Indian people who I am sure wanted to see us play in the IPL this year,” Afridi said. Sounds even more moronic now.

coffee_rules Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Ofcourse said by a Indian Muslim journalist (Jawed Naqvi?) in Dawn. Did you know Modi is a BJP-sympathiser and that being a muslim-hating party, has influenced the owners of IPL to drop Pakistani players. How much more can a head traverse through sand? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cricket: the new h0re of India’s private enterprise By Jawed Naqvi Monday, 01 Feb, 2010 font-size small font-size largefont-sizeprintemail share IPL official Lalit Modi and Bollywood actors Shahrukh Khan and Preity Zinta pose during a news conference. – Reuters Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is reportedly angry with the private organisers of a cricket carnival who have excluded Pakistani players from a lucrative international contest to be hosted in India in March and April. Indian officials have indicated that the government was embarrassed by Lalit Modi, the head of the IPL, a private body that runs the garishly rich cricket event. However, officials have expressed their helplessness in doing anything about it, though pressure is mounting on Modi quietly to undo the decision. Indian officials have explained that the decision not to invite players from Pakistan was a commercial one, not political. This is an important point to note because it puts a key argument flaunted by peacemakers in India and Pakistan, and their foreign stakeholders, on its head. For far too long it has been drummed at every opportunity that foundering ties between the two countries could be rescued only by their business communities. Consequently, the so-called captains of industry were given special privileges over ordinary citizens, be it in procuring scant visas or in finding access to the top echelons of both governments, in the belief that primarily they could bring a semblance of purpose and reason towards ending the decades old debilitating discord between India and Pakistan. The fact, however, is that Lalit Modi and his band of “owners” of cricket teams have shown the truth of what private business is all about. The fact is that the IPL folks have played scrupulously by the dictum patronised personally by the Indian prime minister and his free-market acolytes. The message in Modi’s posture is rooted in Dr Singh’s ideal of a free-markets leadership in a country that has suffered untold misery at the hands of private enterprise. There are many names for the kind of business that Lalit Modi indulges in and which Dr Singh has used as a mantra to unsuccessfully relieve India of its grinding poverty and other entrenched injustices. You may call it free-market enterprise, or plain capitalism, but the motive, the prime mover, which has official patronage, is the same – unalloyed profit-making.Together with this there may be other extenuating circumstances for Modi and his IPL to keep Pakistanis out. Some reports say the chief organiser is a fan of the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, which has its prejudices against Muslims in general and Pakistanis in particular. Others say that Bal Thackeray, who lords over Mumbai, would not allow Pakistanis to play in the city, and the finals are to be held there on April 25. The organisers are hardnosed businessmen so why would they want trouble from a fascist group that the Indian state lionises as a nationalist party? Even before the fall of Hansie Cronje and Mohammed Azharuddin in a match-fixing scam, cricket was being wooed by private entrepreneurs and full-time racketeers. Some of the people who may be placing their bets on the IPL teams (and they do so with less private Test matches too) were busy making money in speculating over the amount of blood that would be shed in Gujarat in 2002. An excerpt from the Indian Editors’ Guild report would tell you what really was afoot. “There have even been reports of betting over the riots. Bookies have been placing bets on who would start riots and where and whether the Gujarat riots would spread to Rajasthan. There has been betting on the death toll. (Times of India, April 10). So now we have rioting as a blood sport,” the report said following a fact-finding trip to Gujarat in the aftermath of the pogroms that began on February 28, 2002. Private enterprise is not a new mantra that Dr Manmohan Singh has introduced into India, nor has the average Indian been its victim for the first time. From the early native usurers to global finance capitalism, to downright plundering by force, private entrepreneurs have always made a neat profit out of Indians. After all the British East India Company was a trading enterprise, was it not? However, the part of India that Modi belongs to has endured a most vicious form of private enterprise for centuries. It’s known as usury or money-lending. Far from bringing peace between warring nations, the rapacious nature of capital-based business is such that it preys on adversities of its victims instead. Dr Singh has emphasised the benefits of private enterprise without anticipating its negatives, which includes Lalit Modi’s point view. When Mahatma Gandhi spoke of Indian capitalists as trustees of the country, he was merely echoing what a British official had tamely observed in Gujarat in 1840. “…the poorer natives regard the village Banyan (bania, businessman, moneylender) as a friend, who in times of need supplies them with the means of celebrating marriages, performing religious ceremonies, and enjoying the few other festivals in which they indulge, and which they must, by inevitable custom, disburse large sums of money. Without such a resource, the progress of their very lives would be impeded. In this view, the Banyan is a positive benefactor to his indigent neighbours, a refuge against the consequences of their own un-thriftiness and so, I think, he is generally considered.” The collector of Surat W. Simson had clearly anticipated the views of India’s present-day free-marketwallahs too. On the other hand, the business community continued to indulge in elaborate prayers and magic rituals to bring calamity (far from brokering peace between warring nations) to their region, such as drought to boost their businesses. In the Punjab, in the 19th century, the business community sometimes filled lamps with liquid ghee, according to an account recorded by historian David Hardiman. They lit the lamp when rain clouds gathered overhead. After some time they blew out the light, and this was said to drive away the clouds. “It was said that this was done with great success in Ambala in 1883,” records Hardiman in his seminal book Feeding the Baniya. “The use of ghee rather than oil in the lamps was probably intended to show to the deity that the people were still well off and did not need rain. In some cases, a Baniya gave an unmarried girl some oil, which she poured on the ground while saying: If I pour not the oil, mine the sin; If thou dispense not the clouds, thine sin.” The popular belief that Baniya usurers and grain merchants acted in such ways was extremely widespread, being found from the Punjab, to Rajasthan, to Gujarat, and Maharashtra. “It was for example, reported from the latter region in 1846 that the Baniyas were commonly believed to employ Jain mendicants to prevent rain,” says Hardiman in his research on usury in western India. Lalit Modi’s carnival of heavily televised and advertised cricket is another step towards turning the once sobre sport into a h0ring of private enterprise. It would be preposterous to expect it to work for peace or goodwill of any kind. Profit motive harbours no such emotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
