Cheerleaders causing uproar?

Kamakaze explains how the self-appointed Culture Police of India have found something to talk about with the cheerleaders of the IPL teams:

The premier league of cricket is here and has brought with it the band of cheerleaders, who wear hot pants and tomtom pompoms. These pompoms have given the breath of life to the idling culture Taliban of India. From the ultra-right Shiv Sena to ultra-left Marxists, the white buns of Washington Redskins have raised eyebrows all around. Politicians cutting across party lines have demanded a ban on the shaking buns between runs in cricket stadiums. Filmstar Shatrughan Sinha, whose stint in politics has been ludicrous and in government ridiculous, has already declared cheerleading to be against ancient Indian culture. CPM’s Subhas Chakraborty has announced that nothing of that sort would dance at the Eden.
