Why IPL should take place in India!

IPL dates clashing with polls in the country and event is under a threat now.
Governments in some states playing spoil sport and trying to build hurdles for IPL.
Now is the time to think in bigger prospective:

Security threats to players involved in IPL is not an issue as our security and democracy is alot more stronger than those in Pakistan, Cancelling or rescheduling or replacing IPL will give very bad impression to whole world, placing us with countries like pakistan which have been declared Not safe for cricket due to recent attacks on Shrilankan Cricketers.
Cancelling IPL will also be bad for Commonwealth Games -Delhi 2010, As they can also be moved out of India.
Cancelling IPL will also put question mark on World Cup 2011.

If We try to cancel the tournament due to Polls, It will be unfair on the part of IPL as they have declared the dates well in advance before the poll schedule.
Option of Playing Indian Premier League in England or South Africa will be joke in itself. Next thing they will ask for there name in the trophy too.
Event management is already going through bad times due to recession, set back deal with Big TV and Not so good relations with Sony.
Managing things in our country will be anytime simpler than managing some where else. With so short time remaining deadline of 10th April will be really hard meet.

Indian Premier League can now safely rechristened to Indian Political League, as BCCI head Sharad Pawar is there in UPA and State govt of Maharashtra, still not succeeding to give safe heavens to IPL is irony in itself.

Hard core Fans are here to loose those great moments they enjoyed in season1, as they will have to see the broadcast on TV now. With IPL being in news for more than 6months for everything but sports, we are expecting shear pleasure of 2months of Sporting action!
