What's it with gutka that is different from, say cigarettes, or liquor (in a state where alcohol flows freely)? For that matter, how are casinos different from the banned matka (two-digit illegal gambling)? Just that the not-so-affluent use them?
Isn't it a sham that the Goa Public Gambling Act (a law meant to control gambling) was amended, virtually by stealth, to specifically permit "offshore" casinos to operate? Just shows the hypocrisy of those in power (regardless of party) and also we in the middle-class who set the agenda.
