[datameet] Census EB coordinates (esp for Mumbai)?

[datameet] Live data stream for election results and trends

Re: [datameet] Newbie here- Need help with shape file of constituencies of India.

Hi Manas, You need a GIS software to create maps from shapefiles. I'll suggest QGIS, which is an opensource, free and a feature rich software. You can download it from http://qgis.org Once you add the shapefile to QGIS, you can render it however you like. See this doc for more details: http://docs
