Nice point you bring up. IITs/IIMs have been one of the most successful undertakings by the Indian government. Time to give them autonomy...

Raju garu, the point Bala is stressing upon is the free market principles. The case here is the mollah that is generated by the men's cricket and accordingly the chaps having a role in it getting paid in line with the revenues generated. I am sure a hack at Mint is getting paid much higher than his counterpart at some chota-mota newspaper outfit somewhere in Bihar. Given the stakes men's cricket has, it is important that the folks putting together the team are paid well so that they end up selecting the best guys. Imagine the fallout of a poorly constituted Indian team.

Bala...I am not arguing for parity based on sex. I am saying is the work of a male selector more difficult given the talent available or that of a woman selector given it still isn't a hugely popular sport among women. If not harder at least it seems equal amount of work. So why pay them so little just because they are women?

Mr.Raju, I think it is not correct to talk about "Equality in pay" (for men/women selectors) here as you (yourself) is also talking about free market principle !!! The point is viewership for men's cricket is tremendous as compared to women's cricket and naturally there are more sponsors, Is it not ???? An IIM Director should actually be paid much higher than 6L per annum is really a case in point, though ...
