Indian Premier League - Good or Bad?

IPL is a gr8 hit, for the organizers, players, viewers, advertisers and many more.

Advantages

1. IPL offers large amount of money to the cricketers. It is good for the dedicated players who do not get opportunity to represent the nation and end up doing odd jobs.
2. Great opportunity to youngsters as they get to observe and play with international stars.
3. An opportunity for players to earn fame and money.
4. Great entertainment for viewers.
   

Disadvantages

1. Cricket has become business. Money is driving the sport.
2. If players get money by playing for just 2 months, their drive to win when representing their home country will go down.

Argument

We have an example of English Premier League. EPL is great for all the football lovers and one of the world's famous sports competition. But has English national football benefited from it? How many international titles does English team has?

Spineless politicians

Recently, our Hon. Home Minister Mr. Shivraj Patil compared Sarabjit's case with that of Afzal Guru. He said that "People are saying that don’t hang an Indian in Pakistan, Sarabjit, and then they are demanding hanging of a Pakistani, Afzal Guru… this is not fair,” he said.

I was expecting this issue to come to surface. But do we know everything about who Sarabjit is, what he has done? Do we have anything to validate judgment of Pakistan's court?
At the same time, we know that our Supreme Court convicted Afzal Guru and handed over a death penalty to him.

I firmly believe that our spineless leaders like Mr. Shivraj Patil shy away from executing sentences of terrorists like Afzal Guru which gives terrorists time to hijack a plane and rescue their colleagues or give an opportunity to distractors to create a scene like Sarabjit.

I could also never understand why our beloved President are still seating on the Afzal Guru?
People like Afzal Guru should be hanged on the day next to SC judgment. As I see it, this is an insult of our SC and also our martyrs who laid their life while defending Parliament (where people like Mr. Patil seat). I also consider this as an insult of all of the Indian citizens.
