At last, mentioning both the 79th and 80th Independence Day is not a typo or a contradiction – it’s just two different ways of counting. One counts how many times we have celebrated August 15th since 1947 while, other counts how many full years have passed since independence. Once you see the difference, it’s easy to stop second-guessing which number to use. Either way, numbers hardly matter while celebrating this day, the sentiment and patriotism is actually what matters.
