Indians in Brazil started arriving as late as the 1960s when Sindhi traders doing trades so long in the countries of Suriname and the Central America flocked into Brazil, the biggest nation of South America after its independence. Some of the Indians living in the Portuguese dominated part of India and other African countries too moved to Brazil during this period. The Sindhis mainly concentrated their living in and around a place called Manaus. In the later half of 1960s and 1970s, another wave of Indians in the form of academicians and professors arrived in Brazil to work in the universities. The recent arrivals are however scientists and nuclear scientist, IT and computer professionals from India. There are a few Catholic Christian nuns and priests. And in recent years Brazil is taking particular care to attempt to grant immigration to mostly Indians with high technology background. It is evident from surveys, that the Indian population living in Brazil is the biggest living anywhere in the South America. There are an estimated 1500 numbers of Persons of Indian Origin or PIOs and around 400 NRIs living here. This is because Brazil since its independence holds a very lenient citizenship giving policy. Anyone living more than fifteen years as domiciles in Brazil can acquire citizenship here beside the rule that anyone having a Brazilian spouse can acquire a citizenship here too. Beside Brazil also has no bar against a person's dual citizenship status. The Indians here are almost all Portuguese speaking as they arrived from former Portuguese colonies. Beside other languages speaking people cannot find it very comfortable living here provided Brazil is a monolingual country and the only Portuguese speaking country with almost no Spanish in the South America. The Sindhis live in Manaus and the Goans live in Sao Paulo. There is an Indian Association by the Sindhis which has more than hundred member strength. There is also an Indo Brazilian Association in the national capital of Brazil, Brasilia. The Indian embassy in the capital too aids Indians to maintain their cultural heritage the right way. They even take part in the many Indian festivals celebrated. The Sikhs celebrate their festivals, the Sindhis celebrates their own. The Goanese living their however possess a much Portuguese kind of culture and hence have not a very varied kind of festivals for them to celebrate in the country. Hindu festivals like Holi, Dusshera, Dewali and Bhai Dooj too are celebrated by Indians here. And to celebrate their festivals, Indians here never miss to send gifts back to India.
