Motivation
Well, before we go on to tell what the project is actually about, we feel the motivation is important."The Indian Story" as the name suggest aims to tell you a vibrant story about India (details of which will be shared in the background later) adorned with interesting facts and pressing issues that this bustling nation faces today.
So why India? Well our team consists of one native Indian (Sandhya), A half baked pretend Indian (Priya) and a non-Indian (Mandi). You see we all have the word "Indian" in our descriptions and so we decided on this topic (this is the perfect example of text analytics gone wrong). Jokes apart, we chose the topic because prof essentially said (of course in a much more refined way), "Get a heart. Look at datasets close to you. Things that you can relate to. There are so many problems in the world that needs to be noticed". So we decided to work on a dataset that we feel most connected to and Mandi has graciously agreed to accompany us in this journey of understanding the country a little better. Mandi, thanks much! We hope you will have fun!
To the viewers of our work, we sincerely hope that we are able to bring to you a wonderful story.
