In India, gambling activities are generally regulated under the Public Gambling Act of 1867, which prohibits running or visiting a common gaming house. Libraries, as public spaces dedicated to education and knowledge, are not appropriate venues for gambling. Engaging in gambling within a library would likely violate both the specific rules of the library and broader legal statutes.
Indian law distinguishes between games of skill and games of chance, with the former often being permissible under certain conditions. However, most forms of gambling are restricted or banned in many states. Since libraries are meant for quiet study and access to information, any form of gambling there would be considered inappropriate and potentially illegal, depending on local enforcement and specific circumstances. |
