Daily Life In Kashmir, India
A user checks the real-money Dream11 online gaming application on his mobile phone in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on September 02, 2025. Indian gaming company A23 challenges the government's ban on online money-based games, a legal filing shows, in the first case against a law that leads to the sudden shutdown of popular contests and throws the industry's future into doubt. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government issues a law last week to ban such games, which the industry says rely on skill and are therefore not gambling. Gambling is already highly restricted in India. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
