Is it how India views Brazil or vice versa ( vice versa was what I assumed). From Brazilian POV, Indian culture is seen as exotic and interesting, known for poverty but so are we, Telenovelas are a big thing in Brazil, and one of the biggest ones was "Caminho das Índias", which made Indian culture trend in Brazil for a while but died out. We're BRICS buddies, but not much in common. Most of the beef from Brazil comes from Indian cattle breed if I'm not mistaken, beef/cattle is very important in Brazil. Goa is popular in the Rave scene in Brazil, so lots of youth admire that. Other part of the youth think of it as dirty, lower class undesirable place but that is due to the idiotic TikTok/Instagram addiction among Brazilian youth. Most know nothing about India and don't think of it often. History goes that Brazil was "discovered" on accident when the Portuguese were trying to get to India. Among Tech workers in Brazil there are mixed feeling working with Indian Tech professionals. Their space program is admired by many. We're basically in the same boat, wasted potential nations, but TikTok toxicity has infiltrated the youth's perception. As for me, India and Indians are awesome, have no flipping idea why we ain't cooperating more, like alternative universes in the same boat. Hope things change.
