Recently I've been wondering, how did the ancient rulers of India view gambling? I've heard that the Mahabharata and other texts describe how princes and kings played dice and other games, but it's not quite clear - did they approve of it or did they consider it something bad? I even have a grandfather who told me that in some families gambling was almost mandatory entertainment for the nobility. Does anyone know if there were any official views or prohibitions on it?

Lately, I’ve been curious about Bollywood’s transformation. It feels like the old masala films—full of songs, over-the-top drama—are giving way to more serious, realistic storytelling on OTT platforms. What’s driving this change? Is it just technology, or are audience tastes shifting too? Does anyone know a good article breaking down this whole evolution?
