India's popcorn tax tickles global media's tastebuds & how Jahangir appears in a nativity scene

An op-ed in South China Morning Post also lists 4 major issues, besides border, that obstruct India-China's relationship & reflects on how the 2 nations can 'improve mutual understanding'.
The article from MSN discusses the amusing reactions of global media to India's decision to impose a 5% tax on popcorn sold in movie theaters, which has been dubbed the "popcorn tax." This tax has caught the attention of international outlets like the BBC, which humorously noted that while India's economy is booming, its citizens are now paying more for their movie snacks. Additionally, the article touches on an unusual cultural crossover where a painting by Indian artist M.F. Husain, depicting the Mughal emperor Jahangir in a Nativity scene, has sparked discussions about cultural integration and artistic interpretation. This juxtaposition of economic policy and cultural commentary highlights the diverse ways in which India engages with both its domestic issues and global perceptions.
