Debt over time plot: India
The chart displays India’s national debt as a percentage of GDP from 1913 to 2011, using a smooth line to reveal spikes tied to historical economic events. Drawn as an SVG, the visualization uses D3 v5’s `scaleLinear`, `line` with `curveBasis`, and `axisBottom`/`axisLeft` to plot the data, which originates from the IMF’s historical debt database. Axes include labeled tick marks and light gridlines, with an orange path highlighting debt variation over time.
