Jansansad is an innovative project that aims to analyze the speeches made in India's Parliament, known as Sansad. It highlights how parliamentary rhetoric reflects the country’s priorities and debates within a vibrant democracy. The project meticulously tracks every word spoken in the Lok Sabha across the last five sessions, leveraging a diverse tech stack built entirely in Scala. With functionalities for downloading, processing, and querying speeches, Jansansad is positioned to provide significant insights into the evolving ideologies and discourses that shape national policy and governance.
In a democracy as vibrant and diverse as India's, parliamentary speeches are more than just political rhetoric; they mirror national priorities, debates, and evolving ideologies.
What makes Jansansad unique is that it's built entirely in Scala, leveraging its expressive power and ecosystem for tasks from HTTP requests to big data processing.
The project exposes three simple CLI commands that allow users to download, process, and interact with the vast collection of parliamentary content.
Listening to parliament debates may tend to be boring, but one can't deny the importance of the words that rotate in that room.
