### Dataset Summary

IndicQuestionGeneration is the question generation dataset released as part of IndicNLG Suite. Each 
example has five fields: id, squad_id, answer, context and question. We create this dataset in eleven 

languages, including as, bn, gu, hi, kn, ml, mr, or, pa, ta, te. This is translated data. The examples in each language are exactly similar but in different languages. 

The number of examples in each language is 98,027.
