An interesting answer on Quora to which is the better country: Brazil!!! no India!! confused, lets compare:
1) Economy: Brazil is by far the biggest South American economy $2.25 Trillion whereas India the biggest South Asian giant is $1.84 Trillion. But since growth rate is higher of India, very soon it’ll surpass Brazil. GDP per ca-pita is by far much better of Brazil and probably stay ahead for at least 30 more years. But GDP by purchasing power parity India is ahead and will stay ahead for a long forthcoming years, that means India you can enjoy and survive more for the same amount of money you possess. In short, a millionaire in general will be able to enjoy/buyout more stuff in India than in Brazil. 2) Politics: They both are very stable Democracy minus a hiccup faced by Brazil now as of May 2016, and it’ll be good for both Brazil and the world to get over this asap. 3) Health: I will give this to Brazil, since lower the population, it’s easier for Brazil to take care of it’s population. Whereas India where the medical is much affordable but still not reachable to every individual of India due to much bigger population. But in medical research India is booming against Brazil. 4) Sports: Brazilians are crazy for Football(a.k.a soccer), whereas in India Cricket is not just a sport but considered a religion. Rest of the sports for both the countries are pretty much considered non-existent. 5) Education: Brazil, almost every one is literate, India is leaping in literacy rate with time, which is about 75% now, but considering quality of education, technology, research and development, India would be better choice. 6) Tradition: Brazil enjoys very liberal outlook and culture, whereas India is traditional, a tad conservative outlook. Both the countries agriculture is dominated and development is on the rise. 7) Crime: Any day you’ll pick India, not sure about the crime outlook of India in the world but statistically crime rate in India is lower than U.S. 8) Diversity - India is very diverse ethnic, cultural, linguistic, food, religion wise etc. Brazil is ethnically very diverse, multiple ethnicity survives but follow same culture, an example for the world where racism is non-existent. India is multiple ethnicity and culture basically gives rise to discrimination but overall picture of India is unified, since still everyone believes in Unity in diversity. 9) Orkut: Brazil and India were the only super users of Orkut, Facebook killed it. Useless comparison. So, who’s your pick? Tough to compare these two nations. For some it’ll be India, to some it’ll be the other. But you’ll probably never meet any Brazilian who dislikes India or any Indian who dislikes Brazil, there’s no reason to not to like each other. Roland Francis Toronto.
