Editor’s Note: Gaming? Or gambling?

The Hindu  

Published : Apr 20, 2023 11:00 IST - 2 MINS READ Two significant things happened in early April. Ravi finally signed off on a Bill that bans online games like rummy or poker, the addiction to which has become a growing social menace in the State. On the one hand, the makers of video games such as Indus Battle Royale, Mumbai Gullies, or Raji: An Ancient Epic are up in arms that their pure entertainment and leisure activity is being clubbed with online gambling under the common nomenclature of “online games”. Ilangovan Rajasekaran traces the politics of the Bill in Tamil Nadu while Eshwar Sundaresan interviews Dr Jayant Mahadevan of NIMHANS to understand the nature of addiction, online or offline. This issue has other highlights—a special section on Vivan Sundaram, the iconic artist who died on March 29; a piece on how India’s national animal is faring 50 years after Project Tiger; and a deep dive into Israel’s political crisis by former ambassador Talmiz Ahmad.
