Originally Answered: What are the challenges faced by Brazil after independence?
There were plenty of them.
First of all, the national union was a major problem. Latin America was divided into many smaller nations with many political problems, Brazil could have faced the same problem. Many revolts happened in Brazil during XIX century, Farrapos and Cabanagem are two of them I can remeber now, and all of them wanted to get separated and independent. The Empire of Brazil (yes, we had a king) had this as the main concern: maintain Brazil as one strong nation.
Them we had the poblem with the country size. Brazil was/is huge, and during the XIX century, it was pretty hard to make things around Brazil’s countryside, nation’s deepest parts as the Amazon Jungle, central plateau or the northeast desert. Infraestructure was a major deal, just the main cities in the south could say they had an european standard. Train, streets, navy, ports… The country needed to build them from scratch.
Slavery of course was another problem. As time went by, every american nation endend slavery, but not Brazil. Slaves were an intrisic part of Brazil but they had many costs, this kind of economy structure made it harder for the country to develop, slaves were exepesive, the person needed to feed them and build terrible “houses” for the to live and they hardly made through adulthood, so there was a need for more of them.
I think these three were the main problems Brazil faced for the first century as an independent country.

This is for India
India got independence in 1947 i.e. almost immediately after end of WW-2 during which most of the Indian resources including stock of food grains. Therefore making available adequate food was the main problem in front of the newly elected government. However, the story of economic, social and political problems does not end here because there was series of problems.
Food - Obviously the first problem,
Violence at the international border - It was not just independence of India but Pakistan separated from India and there was tremendous friction at the border. People were moving from India to the newly born Pakistan and Pakistan to India. However, this movement was extremely painful and gave rise to violence at many places.
Unrest within India - Although all princely states were united, the unity was restricted to paper. Minds of the people from different princely states, speaking different languages, having different egos etc did not gel together quickly. This unrest was more in some southern parts of India as well as in J&K.
Political unrest - The government got formed but there was friction between the various leaders in INC. I deliberately refrain from quoting names but even the cabinet was not gelled well.
Preparation of Constitution for a country like India was a big challenge. The constitution was to decide the power equation within India and sharing of power by the states and the center.
Investment in Public sector which was the backbone of economic development of India.
Motivate and channelize investment in private sector for employment creation at micro level.
Development of infrastructure in India -
