The debate over having cheerleaders perform in DLF IPL matches to be held in Mumbai, is finally starting to settle with the Mumbai police saying that the cheerleaders will not be banned.

The police assured that no cheerleaders will be arrested. However, they were dubious in saying that the authorities will be blamed if the cheerleaders would dress obscenly. I am not sure who is the authority to decide what is obscene and what is not. The term obscene is not absolute and may mean different to different people.

Earlier, on Thursday, the Maharashtra government had said that it was considering a ban on cheerleaders in the DLF IPL matches in Mumbai.

I still remember the hoopla we had when India was chosen for the Miss World Contest. We all have to wait to see people grow up. I think the tournament has been held in good spirits and issues like this should not take away the charm away from it.

There was a news that flashed about IPL cheer leaders. Apparently, it was pretty disappointing to see that they were all firangs (foreigners). It would be exciting to see some Indian Cheerleaders.

Actually IPL can invite people to own Cheerleaders for each teams. May be then we might have Neha Dhupia and Amrita Arora, dancing (still dancing) to the tunes and cheering their respective teams. I am not saying don’t have any firangs in there. All I am saying is get a good mix.

We have an employment crisis and still we have cheerleaders from foreign countries. I think there is a need for the Indian government and parties like CPI to raise this issue in parliament and get some Indian cheerleaders in there.

And do you think Dada will not be happy to see some Indian cheerleaders supporting him and his team (of course not off the field).

Here’s a video showing IPL cheerleaders dancing.
