Sentiment Analysis is a field of study that focuses on figuring out how to extract, identify, or otherwise describe emotions in units of written text. One of the most common tasks in sentiment analysis is finding the polarity of a person's feelings. There are many blog posts, tweets, and comments in Indian languages online these days. Sentiment analysis in Indian languages is a relatively new field, and research in this area is just beginning. There is a lot of offensive content on social media, which is a worry for businesses and government agencies.
