Bhaskar Goswami, an Indian TikTok creator who has been living in Croatia for more than a year, yesterday posted a video in which he humorously compares the similarities between Croatia and India.

His profile @gujjuincroatia has attracted the attention of numerous social media users, and this video further highlighted how everyday life and customs in the two countries are sometimes surprisingly similar.

In the video, Goswami points out several key points that connect Croatia and India. The first similarity he mentions relates to language. According to him, Croatian and Sanskrit share many similar words, which surprised him while learning the Croatian language. This linguistic connection is often a subject of interest among linguists, and through his content Goswami has further popularized this topic among a wider audience.

The second similarity he highlights is family culture. In both countries, families are large and often include extended relatives, and even pets, who all live together under the same roof. “Noise, chaos, especially on weekends when two families gather. Oh my God, a disaster,” Goswami joked, recognizing the universal feeling of family chaos that is familiar to both Croats and Indians.

An unavoidable topic, according to him, is weddings. In both societies, weddings are major events filled with dancing, music, and an abundance of food, and there is always “that one uncle who is angry at everyone.” Such anecdotes further brought everyday life in India closer to the Croatian audience, and vice versa.

In the end, Goswami concludes that Croatia and India are separated by thousands of kilometers, but “in our hearts we are neighbors.” His video sparked numerous positive reactions, and many recognized themselves in the described situations and commented with a smile on the similarities they may not have noticed before.

Bhaskar Goswami continues to build bridges between cultures through his humor and experiences, thereby contributing to better understanding and connecting people from different parts of the world.
