It's simple- 1947 was the first independance day, 70 years later India marks its 71st Independance day- 1+70=71.2017-1947= 70 (i.e the difference between 1947 and 2017 is 70.)
Nobody includes the number that they start from, because using that ridiculous logic 2+2 would become 3 and not 4.
The snide comment about Pakistani math ability just makes your comment so much more stupid and cringey.
@Abingdonboy @Rollno21 Why did you rate this comment? it makes no sense.
It's not the anniversary of the day that is being celebrated but the day itself.
Some are getting themselves confused because they are using the base year (1947) as 0, instead it should be 1.
