A Spanish newspaper has been heavily criticised for using a snake charmer caricature while reporting on Indian economy. Many people on Twitter and Facebook remarked on the irony of this being "stereotypical" and "rasisit," and this image was used on the cover page of the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia on October 9. The cover acknowledged the Indian economy's capabilities with the headline "The Hour of the Indian Economy."
