The Indian government’s recent support for the gaming industry has raised concerns about its potential negative impact on society. Despite acknowledging the ill effects of gaming, including addiction and violence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stated that the industry should remain unregulated. This stance contradicts his previous promotion of a healthy lifestyle and concerns about the decline in physical activity due to technology. The gaming industry has become a lucrative source of revenue for the government, with online gambling platforms expected to contribute $1.7 billion in GST in the upcoming fiscal year. Political parties have also received significant donations from gaming and gambling companies, which may have influenced Modi’s change in attitude. With a large population of young voters actively involved in gaming, politicians are unlikely to ignore such a vast voter base. However, the consequences of promoting gaming may be detrimental to the future of India, as it diverts attention from crucial issues such as unemployment, inflation, education, and farm income.
