1 -Why Pakistan moved its date of Independence from August 15 to August 14


Despite the fact that Pakistan celebrates 14 August as its Independence Day, in fact the day it accomplished freedom was the same as India, that is August 15. This can be supplemented with the Independence of India Act which states "as from the 15 August 1947, two autonomous domains will be set up in India, to be referred to separately as India and Pakistan."
Be that as it may, to honor Pakistan's freedom, this date was moved to August 14 for which an assortment of clarifications are given,

  • It is broadly hypothesized that Lord Mountbatten conveyed the King's message of freedom on August 14 in Karachi as a result of which the date is viewed as the official date of the presentation of Independence of Pakistan.
  • Others trust that August 14 was the 27th day of Ramzan which made it a to a great degree promising day in Islam and thus supporting the decision.
  • It is likewise trusted that Lord Mountbatten should be a piece of autonomy festivities of both the nations. To guarantee his participation, Pakistan moved the date to 14.

2 - What about PANJAB in PARTATION after 2 days of 15 august 1947


In spite of mainstream thinking, the exercises at Delhi on August 15, 1947 went on easily and two autonomous domains rose. Be that as it may, the official declaration of the segment of these 'two' new nations was yet to be made.
Today, parts of Punjab are extremely outstanding to exist on the two sides of the fringe separating India and Pakistan. Being one of the greatest conditions of the time, it was relied upon to witness mass movements upon parcel. To monitor things, a shrewd alternative would have been to declare the segment of the nation before reporting autonomy to avoid any disarray and enable individuals to move to the nation they needed to live in. The parcel prompted mass movement of individuals crosswise over the two sides of the border,But Lord Mountbatten declined to distribute the new limit rules before August 17. This was on the grounds that the movement was certain to cause substantial scale turmoil, wrongdoing and killings. In the event that that occurred before autonomy was declared, the British Raj would have needed to hold obligation.
Henceforth, the official declaration of the limit was distributed on August 17, 1947 which implies on the morning of August 15, the general population of Punjab did not know whether they were living in India or in Pakistan.

3 -Another reason to gave Independency to India for British colony

  • The 1940s saw the enlivening of the Indian masses, affability Mahatma Gandhi and Subhash Chandra Bose (by his commitment to the development of the Indian National Army).
  • By the finish of the II World War in 1945, the British were monetarily fail. This soiled them to run their own nation, not to mention the numerous provinces.
  • Labor Party developed successful in the Britain races (1945) which guaranteed to allow freedom to nations that were British states, including India.
    Talks had just started on the exchange of intensity, to ignore which Lord Mountbatten was delegated as the last Viceroy of the British Empire in February 1947.
    As per the first arrangement, control was to be exchanged from Britain to India in June 1948, yet Jinnah's interest for a segment impelled polarization and substantial scale viciousness in the region. Hence, the powerlessness and hesitance to control the warring residents constrained Lord Mountbatten to pre-pone the date of autonomy by very nearly multi year, from 1948 to 1947.
