The article is not news to anyone who pays even a bit of attention to the goings on in India. The author is writing his experience in Europe where financial corruption is not exactly unknown. But apparently the Indians have left them in the dust.
It is becoming clear that the IPL was nothing more than a way for the crooks in India to get even more rich. I would not be surprised if people like Dawood Ibrahim were involved indirectly.
My appeal to Indians would be to shun this "bandar ka naach" and do something else with their time. By watching they are supporting the enormous corruption.
We can all do things in our lives to reduce corruption in India. Just a little bit of resolve will go a long way.
Is the nation in a coma?
