Question

Why Pakistan celebrates independence day on 14th and India on 15th.?

Answer 1

Time zone difference.

Answer 2

Two nations came into existence at the stroke of midnight 15th August.

The ceremony in Pakistan was conducted on 14th so that Mountbatten could attend both the ceremonies and so Pakistan today celebrate independence on 14th. But officially, the independence was granted at midnight 15th August.

The time zone difference cannot be cited as East and West Pakistan would have had different days of independence namely Aug 15th and 14th.

Answer 3

Pakistan was partitioned before India got independence and they got independent earlier than India  

Answer 4

Pakis have no identity, no locus standii, so they appropriate all things Hindu for themselves. Including Harappa, Indus Valley civilisartion and everything else.

The soil that they call Paklistan is Hindu land, and we shall have it back one day...if Bhagavan grace so wills.

Jai Bhagavan!

Answer 5

Pakistan got independence on 14th August 1947 and India on 15th August 1947 from British Rule, they both emerge on the map of the world as two different nations.
