Inspiration

A few questions that can be answered using this dataset are:

1. What did India export the most in any given year?
2. Which commodity forms a major chunk of trade? Does it conform to theories of international trade?
3. How has the trade between India and any given country grown over time?

A visualization of this dataset would be a great way to explore more such questions.
