When Bharatis woke up on 16th of August, they were still being mounted (err! ruled) by a “Gora Mount” Mountbatten.
P.S. This thread was started after Dhir (on Pak-military forum) insisted that Bharat was never born. Now you know why Bharatis would have difficulty with the concept of their country.
P.P.S Pakistanis are however proud for the birth of their country on 14th August, when their beloved leader M.A. Jinnah became the ruler.
^ I don't think he is saying it is the same Pakistan, all he is saying in the statement that u chose to highlight is that Pakistan (East or West or both) was born, i.e. was created.. on 8/14
Hmmm.... so you guys think that 4th of july is the date when hawaii was added as the 50th state of America??? Just because a region is lost or gained doesn't mean that the country is "born" again.

Just for your reference, the topic of this thread is:
**Was Bharat "born" on 15th of August?*
[/QUOTE]
ok that was my mistake ..... i thought u understand whatever u post ........
in your post u say that Pakistanis are proud for the birth of their country on 14th August. Now, I am not sure of statistics but @ 30-40% of pakistanis (Independance Day 14th Aug) are now know as bangladeshis.
I am not objecting to whatever ur saying in your post except the date that u have mentioned as ID of pakistan ........ according to me its 17/04/1971 and its according to ur logic also.
For me the creation / seperation of pakistan from india for political / religious reasons is simillar to creation / seperation of bangladesh from pakistan for political reasons.

As per high school books, this theory does make sense. Off course we all need to graduate one day (except the few Slow-Moe who stay in high school forever).
Here is some info that may help some to graduate to the next level.
States now under Bharat and Pakistan were all part of British controlled Subcontinent until 1947. They ALL struggled to achieve self-rule.
One group of states was combined and Pakistan was born on August 14th.
The second group was combined and Bharat was born on August 15th.
BOTH of these newly born slowly established:
.. their currency,
.. their bureaucracy,
.. judiciary,
.. the executive, and
.. their army (etc. etc.).
BOTH of them became members of UN one after the other,
BOTH of them for the first time ever in history, got recognized as TWO countries
BOTH of them got their international access codes as 91, and 92.
BOTH of them established their flags (Crescent-Star vs. Chakkra)
BOTH of them declared national languages
(Urdu and Hindi, the languages were never NATIONAL in the history of the region)
Off course Bharati or Pakistani high school books do not address this issue, but unfortunately one fine day we all have to grow up.
P.S. (nothing, nada, zilch)
P.P.S nothing in post script because some people get distracted and forget about the main topic
Here is something more …
TEST DEBUTES … for india and pakistan
India v England at Lord’s, Only Test, 1932 [219]
Pakistan v India at Delhi, 1st Test, 1952/53 [355]
As far as your united nations theory goes… UN came to existance only in 1945 (2nd world war), so by no streatch of imagination it was possible for any country to be part of UN before 1945. please check the link below, India was part of UN before 1947,
Reading this thread it is difficult to understand who is arguing for what?
Is antiobl arguing that India was never born on Aug 15 (first post), or is he arguing that India was born on that day (last post). And what is maihu arguing for? And most importantly, where is this discussion heading, and whats the whole point?
The discussion is about staying in high school or one day graduating for it.
Bharati High school books say that Pakistan existed in 1928.
OTOH yet another group of Bharatis have difficulty understanding the concept that Bharat was born on August 15th, 1947. That's all!
All the twists are turns of this thread and we still don't know what's the birthday of Bharat ;)

Firstly, which High School book
Secondly, it is not necessary for all nations to have a birth date. How many nations, except Pak and israel do you know that were born on a particular day.
