### Description

This dataset is derived from the already existing dataset made by AI4Bharat. We have used the [IndicXParaphrase](https://huggingface.co./datasets/ai4bharat/IndicXParaphrase) dataset of AI4Bharat to create this instruction style dataset. 
We have used the malayalam split of the above mentioned dataset to create this one. This was created as part of [Aya Open Science Initiative](https://sites.google.com/cohere.com/aya-en/home) from Cohere For AI.

IndicXParaphrase is multilingual, and n-way parallel dataset for paraphrase detection in 10 Indic languages. The original dataset(IndicXParaphrase) was made available under the cc-0 license.
