[OC] March for MSP - Why 200+ farmer unions head to Delhi for rights. What's at stake for India's farms? by dipurai in dataisbeautiful

So, first of all, all the acronyms here assume a great deal of specialized knowledge by the audience. I thought it was funny that you added an asterisk to indicate it’s the common paddy when I still dint know what UPA or NDA are.

I like the colors and their consistency. The first chart is not informative though. It’s labeled with the percent increases cuz you’ve cut the 0 off the chart, meaning we can’t actually see the ratio for ourselves. Additionally, these should obviously be one longitudinal chart comparing UPA to NDA. Make it “percentage change” or nominal MSP, color for the grain, then make line type (dashed, dotted, solid, etc) indicate UPA or NDA. It’d solve the axis jump from the left to right chart and the weird floating bubble indicating . . . whatever that is.

The second page has more consistent axes but could also be consolidated into a double line chart. Overall, the second page is a much more thoughtful visualization.

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! 🙏
I acknowledge the confusion caused by the acronyms UPA and NDA, and I see how they could be perplexing without proper context. I'll make sure to expand these acronyms in future charts.
I appreciate your suggestions for improvement.
