Recently came across a very cool post on Gramener.com where Mahabharat story was used for demonstrating Big Data analysis. I enjoyed reading the post and was impressed with the efforts. Having said that the analysis looked flawed to me as it just took into consideration quantitative aspect of the big data without the context. As a result a lot of interpretations were completely off the chart. It just proves importance of context in data analysis.

Here is a link to the original blog post:
