Hello,

I am seeking data on current and former members of Indian parliament. 

I am a health economist at the University of Melbourne. 

I am currently undertaking some research regarding the life expectancy of 
politicians relative to the general population. This is part of international 
data collection effort. The aim of this work is to compare the rate of 
mortality of politicians in various countries with their respective 
populations.                                                                    
              
 
We currently have data from 15 other countries and in total we aim to collect 
data from over 100 countries. At this point we have information on over 70, 000 
politicians spanning some 3 centuries. For almost all countries we have 
information on gender, date of birth, date of death, party, date they enter 
parliament et cetera. 

We would really like to compare trends in mortality of Indian politicians 
against the other countries. Beyond the headline results i.e. whether 
politicians live longer, it may provide insight into trends in health 
inequalities for those who generally have higher incomes (politicians) and the 
general community. 

Therefore, we would like data on Indian politicians also. Ideally we need the 
data in an aggregated/workable form (excel file) for data analysis. We require 
the following variables:
•             Name
•             Gender
•             DOB
•             DOD
•             Party
•             Date entered parliament
•             Date exited/finished parliament
 
Can you please help us? 
 
Thank you in advance,
 
Jay
