Bhai, I was fixing an old transistor radio last night, and it got me thinking—my son tells me these esports boys have to react faster than a grandmaster in a blitz game. Fair enough, speed is speed. But when I see the prize money those teenagers chase, and then I read about the Gurugram traffic warden’s son who can’t afford a chess board for his district-level tournament, my stomach turns. The state should be pouring that money into school libraries and park benches, not into some gamer’s streaming setup. A government that lets a kid with natural talent starve while another kid with a good internet connection wins a car—that’s not progress, that’s just modern day inequality wearing a new cap.
