Some have even dies due to addiction. [2]

There are many more. I just gave a single example.

For clarification, 1 lakh = 100 thousand. INR 100k ~= $1400, which is about the median annual household income in India.

China is taking digital addiction very seriously. They have taken strong measures. Some of them are well positioned and others are pure authoritarian. I expect India to follow soon though I have little hope for good long term policies. I expect them to be reactionary and punitive.

People fear education here. I think about why and can only come with few theories.

I dont think I do though. Video game-addicted teens dont constitute 'most' of the Indian population.

Yes. I know because I was one of the millions of addicted kids, and all my friends were too.

Video game addicted young adults with a vendetta against the government could turn out and vote against it, though I wouldn't hold my breath for that.
