The time of independence of India and Pakistan was the same, yet there is a difference of one day between the independence day of the two countries. So the question arises, why does Pakistan celebrate Independence Day on 14 August and India on 15 August? Let us try to find out the reason behind this with the help of historical facts. When Lord Mountbatten came to India in March 1947 as the last Viceroy, Britain gave him time till June 1948 to transfer power. Thus, he had more than 16 months, but Mountbatten wanted to do this work in a few months. There were many reasons behind this, the political situation was getting worse, the interim government was hardly working, the demand for the creation of Pakistan was also in full swing and communal riots were spreading in the country. In such a situation, the Viceroy believed that it is good to liberate the country quickly. See in the special astrological sign for your lifestyle. Mountbatten chose the date of 15 August as the date of Japan's self-immolation when the Second World War was going on.
