India Partition League

Principle of Exclusion & IPL & Indian society
We are a 28-state rich country, with 7 union territories.There is cultural abundance and cultural diversity.Thers is diversity in pretty diverse things as well and many timesits hard to believe that we are states of the same nation.Language, population density, literacy, food, clothing, temperature, rainfall,flaura and fauna,income, spending power, wealth, crime, religion, sex ratio, rulingparty, infrastructure, health & wellness, etc. etc.
We have become and we are becoming more & more, a market driven economy.An economy where the only thing that matters is the buying power or how much money you have.
On this basis, there have always been segregations in the society-place you reside, schools your children attend, car you drive, food you eat, brands you wear, etc.
But 2-3 months before one more strata was formed in our society.The IPL team you cheer!!!
Yes.
A total of 8 teams were auctioned in the IPL by the BCCI:Bangalore, Chandigrah, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata & Mumbai. So its not about India any more. Its not about your state anymore.Its about your city now.
Cricket fans hailing from Indore, Pune, Lucknow, Patna(have u gone crazy), & Surat and from your citydont have their cities to cheer.
This segragation is a clear cut segmentation of the Indian market based on the city's buying power.Which includes:1. Buying power backed fans base2. Heart share based city following (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, etc)3. Billionaire power backed team buying capacity (Mukesh Ambani, Vijay Mallya)4. Iconic player backed city following (Sachin, Saurav, Dravid)5. Iconic buyer backed city following (SRK, Preitty)
Though its very complex how people will follow a particular team and developtheir loyalty towards it and city might be just one of the influencing factors.
But still, India has been partitioned into eight cricketing provinces. Now even if u feel left out, there is no option for you. Either support some team externally, ie. live in Sagar (M.P.) and support Mumbai becauseyour icon, Sachin leads the Indians. Or transform yourself to the higher earning Indian, living in an iconiccity and then adopt your loyalities to that city.
Rest all of us, the leftover India, can still watch IPL just for fun and our love for Cricket...
