Great. India's independence coming up again..
By heero_yuy2 •
Time sure flies fast. I thought they celebrated this months ago and then another one. Like I need it now.
The funny thing last year was their celebrating their 61st anniversary. If India's independence was August 15, 1948, it should be 60th anniversary. So why 61st?

They were going to, but the guard wouldn't take the letter without an accompanying Tiffin Carrier..
fault of the british port authorities ..... again ...
they cud have used the rail :)
The letter reached the Indian port on time via a speedy British clipper, but then was put on a donkey, rather than express mule on its way to Delhi..
yea letter posted by the british postal service in 1947...reached india..still using the british postal service.....in 1948 ...
u missed out on the finer details britexpat :)

Now I know why you picked that nickname.. Well said!
Who said India got independence? We are still ruled by Corruption, Poverty, Religious Riots even in the 21st century. We are still not Free from our corrupt Politicians......Britishers were better atleast in comparison to our corrupt politicians.....

We posted the letter in 1947, but due to the Indian postal services , it only arrived in 1948..
it definitely is 15 Aug 1947
They keep on tellin' me it was 1948. Which is which, India?
