15 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Language Atlas 2011 (Roman Pages).pmd, published by censusindia.gov.in. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. 11 of the 15 pairs (73.3%) are explanatory questions and 4 restate a figure. 93.33% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
