Brazil and India – Similarities and differences between both countries.

Members of the economic group BRICK, Brazil and India have more similarities than the eyes can see. There are also a lot of differences, but both countries are between the largest countries in the planet, and their importance to the development of the economy in the world is incontestable.


To begin with the similarities, in both countries there are many natural assets. For example, Brazil has a rich biodiversity in the rainforest while India has a different biodiversity in Himalaya but as big as Brazil’s. They have several religious diversities as in Brazil. In India we have four big religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism while in Brazil we have most part of the population following Roman Catholicism, but there are also a lot of different religions, like Protestantism, Kardecist spiritism, Afro-Brazilian religions, Buddhism, Judaism Islam. Brazil and India are either in the most populous countries or the largest countries.


About the differences, India has a curious factor, even the inequality between classes is similar in both countries, India has a lower rate of violence due the religious beliefs while Brazil suffers with the lack of punishment from their government. Another difference with Brazil is the problem related to the neighbor’s countries which there are intolerance about religion and the creation of some conflicts and terrorist attacks.





Neither Brazil nor India has enough experience to be an economic power, but they are growing and someday those two nations can teach a lot of lessons to the world. Maybe someday we can live in peace and with harmony between existence and development.
