Meet Shah, Student. Intern. Aspirant.

I'm from India and I spent a year in São Paulo, Brazil for my exchange. So I think I'm qualified to answer.

I'm answering from the point of view of living (i.e. which is a better place to live)

Although both have it's pros and cons, my answer would be-

Brazil

For many reasons, Brazil is a better place to live.

我来自印度，我在巴西的圣保罗做了一年的交换生。我认为我有资格回答这个问题。

我是从生活的角度来回答的（比如哪个地方更适合居住）

虽然两个国家各有优势，但我的答案是：

巴西

由于种种原因，巴西是一个更好的居住地。

Better infrastructure: No arguments here. Brazil has a way better infrastructure than India (I felt rather funny when Brazilians used to say that Brazil has one of the best infrastructure).

Liberal mindset: Brazilians have a liberal mindset and they let you do whatever you want without interfering. On the other hand, Indians are generally conservative and don't give you space.

Traffic: India has a messy and noisy traffic, and lack of traffic discipline. The Brazilian traffic was comparatively pleasant.

Transport: Brazil has really good buses and metros. I find the Indian transport system inefficient and poorly organised.

People: The so-called 'Indian hospitality' is overrated. Brazilians are way more hospitable and generous. Also, their open-mindedness and social skills make them really fun to hang out with.

基础设施更出色：没什么可争论的。巴西的基础设施比印度要好（巴西人过去常说巴西有世界最一流的基础设施，我觉得不太舒服）。

自由的心态：巴西人有自由的心态，他们会让你做任何你想做的事，不会加以干涉。另一方面，印度人通常很守旧，不会给你空间。

交通：印度交通混乱嘈杂，缺乏交通纪律。巴西的交通比较舒适。

交通运输：巴西有很好的公共汽车和地铁。印度的运输系统效率低下，缺乏秩序。

国民：所谓的“印度人好客”其实名不副实。巴西人更加热情好客。此外，他们的开放心态和社交技巧使他们成为真的非常有趣的伙伴。

Civic sense: Brazilians have a good civic sense. They rarely litter. Also, they follow the lane discipline, parking sense and never cut into queues. On the other hand, Indians are known for their lack of civic sense.

Accepting nature: Brazilians have an accepting nature. They accept people from all races, nationality, religion,etc and make everyone feel welcomed. Also they are liberal towards homosexuality. We Indians aren't always welcoming.

Work life: Comparatively, work life in Brazil is bit more relaxed and Brazilians aren't usually stressed due to work, whereas their Indian counterparts have an extremely stressful work life.

Enjoying life: Brazilians are amazing at partying and celebrating. They're extremely happy people. In India, the partying scene is dull and the clubs are usually closed by 1-1:30 am.

Quality of life: The quality of life in Brazil is way better than India due to many reasons like social security, life expectancy, lesser pollution, free healthcare and education, liberal outlook, etc.

公民意识：巴西人有良好的公民意识。他们很少乱扔垃圾。此外，他们遵循机动车道纪律，停车意识，不会插队。而印度人因缺乏公民意识而闻名。

包容的天性：巴西人具有包容心态。他们接受来自各族、民族、宗教等的人，让每个人都感到温暖。他们对同性恋也很包容。我们印度人并不太欢迎同性恋。

工作生活：相比之下，巴西人的工作生活轻松得多，巴西人通常不会因为工作而感到压力，而印度人的工作压力很大。

享受生活：巴西人的派对和庆祝活动非常棒。他们是非常快乐的人。而印度的聚会场面单调乏味，俱乐部通常在凌晨1点30分就关门了。

生活质量：由于许多原因，如社会保障、预期寿命、污染较少、免费医疗和教育、自由观念等，巴西的生活质量远比印度好。

India scores in following departments-

Safety: India is a bit safer than Brazil. Some places in Brazil have high crime rates. (Although crime exsts on large scale in some Indian states)

Diversity: India has diversity in cultures, religions, languages, music, etc.

Better military.

Variety of climates.

Good variety in food.

Good economic outlook

Don't get me wrong. I love India and I'm proud of my Indian roots. But I have to paint the truth

Will keep adding more whenever I think of something.

Suggestions/queries are most welcomed!

印度在以下几方面有优势：

治安：印度的治安比巴西好一点。巴西的某些地方犯罪率很高。（尽管印度某些邦存在大规模犯罪）

多样性：印度在文化、宗教、语言、音乐等方面有多种多样性。

军事实力更强。

气候多样。

食物种类繁多。

良好的经济前景

别曲解我的意思。我爱印度，我为我的印度血脉而自豪。但我必须实事求是。

我如果再想到什么，会继续补充的。

欢迎大家提出意见和建议！

Paulo Henrique dos Santos Oliveira, lived in Brazil

It depends on what do you value, what is your position in life and what is your cultural background.

Brazil has a much higher average income and GDP per capita and much less poverty. It's a diverse nation but its culture is basically Western. Brazilian cities look more organized (I never thought I would write this) and the Brazilian countryside is much more prosperous than the Indian one.
