IPL and India

If some sense prevails within the Organizing Committee, they must reschedule the matches and hold it in India itself.
Moreover the IPL committee has no right hold the country to a ransom at an important time synonym to a national emergency; i.e. Lok Sabha elections. Tomorrow even if India is going through war, will these people will go ahead and play the IPL?
Everyone is talking about security to players, but how can IPL guarantee security to each and every citizen that is involved. The Government needs to take this up more strongly.
The whole essence of this tournament is the regional spirit and that would be killed if held anywhere else other than the region each team represents. Imagine a guy from Essex, England, cheering for the Chennai Super Kings?? Or the English Premier league being held in India, who would you cheer for?
