I was talking with some important people from government of India and they asked me: \u201cWhy don\u2019t you write something about India? We will pay you a lot if you say that India is better summer destination than Croatia.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201dI like my country, but not as much as money\u201d Did I say that or someone from Croatian parliament?<\/span><\/p>\n

I have contacted the Embassy of India in Zagreb and arranged for an interview with\u00a0Indian ambassador, Mr. Arindam Bagchi at Indian restaurant \u201cNAMASTE<\/strong><\/a>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

When did you come to Zagreb and was this your sentence or did you ask to come to the capital of Croatia? Where did you work before? Why Zagreb? Por que?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I came in November 2018 after a posting in Sri Lanka. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn about this part of the world, which I had not seen. And it is a beautiful country and nice place to live in.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Big is Indian community in Zagreb\/Croatia? Do you have some secret society here, maybe a spy network, someone like Indian 007 or Indian Batman…?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Indian community in Croatia is around 100 but is increasing due to an increasing number of workers that come to Croatia. Of course, there are a lot of \u201csecret\u201d Indian societies in Croatia and they are active during various Indian events and festivals such as the Festival of India in Croatia or International Yoga Day (in June) which for instance was held in 40 cities in Croatia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shaktimaan<\/strong> is one well known Indian superhero. He attained his heroic powers through deep meditation and is capable of activating certain chakras which gave him strong powers \u2013 but we have no information if he is active in Croatia!<\/span><\/p>\n
