His articles have been published in journals including CR: The New Centennial Review, Discourse, Postcolonial Interventions and Postcolonial Text Abstract The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been characterized by its detractors as nothing more than a tamasha. Any defense of the tournament should start with an outright refutation of this appellation. This paper contends that the IPL must wear the nomenclature as a badge of honor. It argues that tamasha is and should be the soul of the IPL; and to expect it to be otherwise is to impose on it the usual trammels of nationalism and other political and cultural ideologies. As a truly transnational spectacle, the IPL mimics and mocks capitalism, thereby exhibiting its subversive agency; as a carnival both cultural and political, the IPL crosses the limits of provincialism to champion the politics of cosmopolitanism; and as a tamasha, it approximates the status of art – pure play. Keywords IPL, spectacle, cosmopolitanism, pure play * This article was submitted to this journal before 14.06.2019. Damai, P. Testing the Boundaries of Provincialism: ... 218 India‟s veteran cricket historian Ramchandra Guha calls the Indian Premier League (IPL) “the Serpent in the Garden.” Candidly disclosing his distaste for all things serpentine, Guha begins his condemnation of the IPL with an intriguing anecdote.
