Indian Fake Data Generator (Python Edition)

A fast, zero-dependency Python library that generates culturally accurate, statistically consistent mock Indian demographic profiles backed by Census 2011 data using attention-like context masking.

Unlike traditional mock generators that produce impossible demographic combinations (such as a Sikh named Mohammed Sharma from Mizoram), this library correctly links variables together so that every generated person makes logical sense based on real-world statistical correlations.

Quick Examples

# 1000 profiles as CSV
indian-fakedata -c 1000 -f csv -o profiles.csv

# 50K Tamil Nadu Hindus as JSONL
indian-fakedata -c 50000 -f jsonl -o tn_data.jsonl --state "Tamil Nadu" --religion Hindu

# All enrichment layers with moderate bias
indian-fakedata -c 100 --enrich --bias 0.3 -f jsonl -o enriched.jsonl

# SC community fairness audit
indian-fakedata -c 5000 --outcomes --bias 0.5 --socialCategory SC -f jsonl -o sc_bias.jsonl

# LLM training corpus (Hinglish + loan apps)

# Agent personas for multi-agent simulation
indian-fakedata -c 500 --persona -f jsonl -o agents.jsonl

# Single detailed profile, pretty-printed
indian-fakedata -c 1 --enrich --bias 0.0 --seed 42

Programmatic API

enriched = generate_enriched(count=5, include_outcomes=True, include_agent_persona=True)

# 3. Stream Generation (for large datasets)
for profile in generate_stream(count=10000):
    pass # Process one by one without memory issues

Data Sources & Real-World Accuracy

Every demographic profile, name distribution, and asset weighting is calibrated against public survey data:

1. Census of India 2011 (D-Series & C-Series Tables): Core distributions for religion, state-by-state population metrics, and mother tongue frequencies.
2. National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5): State-wise dietary preferences, BMI, blood groups, height/weight by age.
3. MSME Census: Community-level occupational sectors, vocational rates, industry divisions.
4. UIDAI & RTO Records: Structural syntax for Aadhaar, Voter ID, PAN, IFSC, and RTO registrations.
5. CSDS/Lokniti Election Studies: Political leanings and religiosity index biases.
