'''Brazilians in India''' form a small community consisting of immigrants and expatriates (mostly footballers and fashion models) from [[Brazil]].<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
===Immigrants===<br />

There are small Brazilian communities in [[Chennai]], [[Goa]] and [[Mumbai]].<ref>[http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?236726 Outlook India.com - Blame It On Panjim]</ref> Currently, there are about 40 Brazilian families in Goa itself and there is a Brazilian consulate located in Mumbai. Many Brazilians settled in Goa because its culturally similar to Brazil as they were both former Portuguese colonies.<br />
<br />
Brazilian culture is also visible in Goa.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20071220094921/http://www.hindu.com/2007/12/17/stories/2007121751560300.htm The Hindu - Samba music to enliven Goa carnival]</ref> [[Samba]] music and dance became part of the local festivities of Goa [[Carnival]] in 2008 and Goa has been promoting Brazilian studies. [[Goa University]] had a Brazilian chair for [[Latin America]]n studies for many years and they offer a variety of courses such as [[Brazilian literature]], philosophy and sociology.<br />
<br />
===Expatriates===<br />
India is emerging as a leading market for second-string footballers from Latin America, particularly Brazil. Brazilian footballers are playing club football in India because they get paid more in India that they can ever hope to earn in Brazil.<ref>[http://www.tribuneindia.com/2002/20020504/spr-trib.htm#2 Tribune India - Brazilians call the shots in Indian football]</ref> Coaches from Brazil also came to train Indian footballers.<ref>[http://www.indiaenews.com/europe/20060913/22083.htm India eNews - Brazil to the rescue of Indian football]</ref> The Brazilian community in [[Chennai]] are mainly involved in business, IT and Automobile Manufacture .<br />
<br />
The Indian Fashion Industry also recruits models from Brazil as their approach to fashion is more professional and their exposure has been extensive. They are also recruited because they are much less inhibited, so assignments which require them to don a bikini or a swimsuit are easier than for Indian girls. However they earn less than Indian models but the rates are at par with other parts of the world. The only difference is that they probably have to do three shows instead of one in India.<ref>[http://www.indianexpress.com/news/rio-on-the-ramp/382663/0 Indian Express- RIO ON THE RAMP]</ref><br />
