A free, monthly-refreshed compliance matrix of all 4,893 Indic-language datasets on the Hub, showing that 65% declare no license — so teams can avoid licensing traps (and missing-tag repos) before they train on them
## Dataset: 65% of 4,893 Indic-language datasets declare no license — full compliance matrix I scanned every Indic-language dataset on the Hub (hindi, tamil, bengali, telugu, marathi, malayalam, kannada, urdu, +9 more) and published the full results. ### Headline numbers (scan date: 2026-08-01) * **3,185 of 4,893 datasets (65.1%) declare no license tag** * **46.1% of all downloads** hit no-license repos — including ai4bharat/IndicCorpV2 (2,888 downloads) and cfilt/iitb-english-hindi (1,003 downloads) * **154 datasets are CC-BY-NC** — a silent trap for commercial training (e.g. ai4bharat/IndicParaphrase, 4,611 downloads) * **139 datasets carry ambiguous tags** (other, cc, unknown) ### The data Full matrix with risk buckets + guidance for every repo (CSV + Parquet, CC0): hardik90/indic-dataset-license-matrix Also in that repo: a sample audit report with a deep-dive on 3 flagship corpora, plus an FAQ covering commercial use, CC-BY-NC, and how to verify any dataset’s license. ### Why it matters Under the EU AI Act GPAI documentation duties and standard enterprise procurement policies, a missing license tag effectively disqualifies a dataset from commercial pipelines — regardless of the author’s original intent. **If you train or ship on Indic data** , filter the matrix by risk_bucket and build your watchlist before your next fine-tune. **Maintainers** : I’d love to see your license tags + provenance notes — the matrix is refreshed monthly, and I’m happy to help draft the card text. _The matrix is factual, API-derived metadata released under CC0. Not legal advice — verify anything you rely on._

IIT ବାବାଙ୍କ କଳା ରହସ୍ୟ | IIT Baba Scandal | High-Paid Engineer Turned Godman Arrested | Asala Katha
IIT ବାବାଙ୍କ କଳା ରହସ୍ୟ | IIT Baba Scandal | High-Paid Engineer Turned Godman Arrested | Asala Katha A shocking controversy has surfaced around the self-styled "IIT Baba" Adikarta Narayan Das alias Abhishek Mishra. An IIT Roorkee graduate who reportedly left a lucrative corporate career to embrace spirituality is now facing serious allegations. Police action followed a complaint by a woman from Chhattisgarh, with investigators reportedly uncovering disturbing evidence from the godman's devices. #IITBaba #AbhishekMishra #GodmanScandal #BreakingNews #CrimeNews #IITRoorkee #ViralNews #IndiaNews #LatestUpdate #PoliceInvestigation #AsalaKatha #ManashDash #News18Odia #OdiaNews Welcome to News18 Odia, your go-to destination for the latest news and updates from across India and beyond.

Primera verificación de la mejora de la concentración durante la conducción utilizando la tecnología nanoe™
Ciudad de México, marzo 2026. Panasonic Corporation, anunció que, bajo la supervisión de profesores del departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas de Transporte del Instituto Indio de Tecnología de Bombay (IITB), ha verificado científicamente los efectos de su tecnología nanoe™ (radicales hidroxilo presentes en el agua) en los conductores y ha demostrado su potencial para mejorar la concentración al volante. Este es el primer estudio que realiza un análisis integrado de cómo la tecnología nanoe™ (radicales hidroxilo presentes en el agua) afecta la cognición, el juicio y la conducción en entornos de conducción donde se anticipan riesgos.

This article is part of a special issue in JACS Au on flow chemistry, and I think this contribution, the main work of Gayathri's PhD within the IITB/Monash academy, is a wonderful example for fruitful collaborations between India and Australia!

New paper alert! Miniemulsion polymerizations are so useful for many things. Yet, bringing them from the lab to scalable synthesis is something that isn't easy. Using a combo of spinning disk reactor and agitated reactors, we solved that issue! Well done, Gayathri!
