Wow, I had no idea of this. Interesting. My guess is that these points in common between Sanskrit, Hindi and Latin may be because of the PIE (Proto-Indo-European) ancestry of all three of them (and other European and Indian languages too).
There are many other points in common, such as similar-sounding everyday words like mother/ mata/mater, father/pitr/pita/pater, deci/dasha, brother/bhrata, deva/deus, and many more, although all may not have been derived through the common ancestry route; some can be loanwords or other,e.g. via Hindi -> Arabic -> European.
