Why is bridge legal in India and Poker illegal? the concepts are similar. ?

Question

I know cash game poker is gambling. But tournament poker is similar to bridge. Thats why the WSOP is telecasted on ESPN . So can the WSOP/WPT be held in India?

Answer 1

Poker gets a worse rap than bridge presumably because there's fewer little old ladies who play it :)  As for a WPT tournament in India it will never happen due to it not being legal.
