In the days of Roman empire, the gladiators were traded back and forth by the oligarchs. Indian oligarchs are no different. The Indian oligarchs these days gamble in BCCI supported IPL auction of cricketers. It is prestigious these days to own big name cricketers as ‘assets’. The concept is ugly and needs some closer look. It can also be looked at as slave trading. Slave trading is common in India. Even in 2008, Indian IT companies trade Indian programmers to western corporations as ‘cycber slaves.’

India performed a barbaric auction of over 60 players, including those from other Test playing countries, was held in Mumbai on Wednesday.

There are increasing opposition from many quarters in India that understand that it is just a shame for India to allow any kind of auction of human beings.

In an open letter, Shiv Sena Chief Bal Thackeray has asked the Cricket Board President Sharad Pawar to stop the auctioning of cricketers by the BCCI-promoted Indian Premier League. He called it the "a gambling game of industrialists". In India, the oligarchs are called industrialists.
