]]> The Hindu netalert@thehindu.co.in Lula's victory is great news for India, Global South In Brazil, President Luiz Inazio Lula da Silva took a historic victory on Sunday, October 25th, against Flavio Bolsonaro of the far-right Liberal Party. And this is the first time in Brazil's history a candidate who finished second in the first round went on to win the presidency. And this victory can have lasting implications for South America and the wider world, because Lula's victory is a clear setback for US President Donald Trump's ambitions and plans for South America. And this is happening at a time when South America witnessed a host of victories by far-right and conservative forces, and the Workers' Party has defied this trend. Gula's victory could also be significant for India, as both countries are influential Global South members, and India and Brazil were also the highest tariffs countries by the United States until a few months ago.
