Hi Nikhil, One interesting angle would be the number of deaths related to demonetization. I have seen a number of news articles regarding apparent suicides and elderly having medical problems in bank queues. This dataset would be extremely powerful, and could be gleaned if several folks collaborated to pull this data out of the news. A line chart could be made of the sum total of the deaths over time if we have a date for each event. Also we could answer the question, till now how many deaths have been related to demonetization? A simple Google search for "demonetization deaths" <https://www.google.co.in/search?q=demonitization+deaths&oq=demonitization+deaths&aqs=chrome..69i57.3618j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#q=demonetization+deaths> provides a starting point for gathering this data (death toll seems to vary from 33 to 55 till now).
Would be interesting to have columns in a data table like the following for each death incident: - Date - City - State - (lat, long) - Original reference URL - Description - Male/Female - Age Best regards, Curran On Saturday, November 26, 2016 at 12:04:28 PM UTC+5:30, Nikhil VJ wrote: > > Hi Friends, > > It would be good to collect data relating to the ongoing > demonetization, especially geographic related.
