Join our characters as they navigate the legal gray areas, ethical dilemmas, and societal shifts brought by gambling.
Chapter 1: The Roots of Gaming in India
From Ancient Rituals to Modern Risks
Historical Context: India’s gaming legacy dates to Vedic times, with Kabbadi (a team-based guessing game) and Parcheesi (similar to checkers) as early examples.
Cultural Symbolism: Games like Rummy were once social pastimes, but colonial influence and globalization transformed them into commercialized ventures.
Modern Evolution: The rise of online platforms (e.g., Adda52, RummyCircle) has normalized gambling, sparking debates about accessibility and addiction.

Rummy:
Rules: Players arrange cards into sets/fives (e.g., three-of-a-kind, sequences).
