Hey its simple:

You born in 1970 and in 2000 you would be 30 years of age, not 31!

14 August.. is when we got the independence. That should be the independence day, plus all the other 14s that come after. Which should make it 63rd? Bloody confusing.

14th Aug-

1947-1; 1948-2; 1949-3; 1950-4; 1951-5; 1952-6; 1953-7; 1954-8; 1955-9; 1956-10; 1957-11;


1958 to 67 =10

1968 to 77 =10

1978 to 87 =10

1988 to 97 =10

1998 to 2007 =10

2008 & 2009 =2

11+10*5+2=63

30 yrs completed and 31st running dear sir! Pls try to understand. There is a difference between 62 yrs of independence and 63rd Independence day! Get it? And you wouldn't count your birth day in 1970 as your first b'day. Your 1st b'day will be in 1971. But in this case 14th Aug 1947 was your first independence day!
