I read an insightful article that explores exactly this shift and it gives a lot of context on how foreign games became deeply integrated in India
https://opgram.com/how-a-foreign-game-became-more-indian-than-india/. From my own perspective, whenever I try teaching classic Indian games to my cousins, they are curious at first but quickly return to mobile or online games. I think we lose not just the specific rules or strategies, but also cultural storytelling, communal bonding, and a sense of history that traditional games carried. The article helped me understand that while the games may change, recognizing their cultural roots is important to keep that heritage alive.
