Actually both countries got independence at the exact same moment the midnight 12.00 am between 14th and 15th of August 1947.
Pakistan just has its ceremonial day on 14th, India has its on 15th. This was done so that Mountbatten could attend both ceremonies.
The whole who is the daddy, mommy, sonny is quite immature discussion. Common folk have all been living as brothers for the majority of years in this part of the world...hopefully one day it will be so again.

Actually August 15th was the Independence day for both countries. Pakistan changed it to August 14th later.
From the Indian Independence Act, 1947:
"As from the fifteenth day of August, nineteen hundred and forty-seven, two independent Dominions shall be set up in India, to be known respectively as India and Pakistan."
Jinnah:
“'It is with feelings of greatest happiness and emotion that I send you my greetings. August 15 is the birth day of the independent and sovereign state of Pakistan.'"
Btw, it seems many Pakistanis are starting to look at it too. an article in Dawn -

Just to remember Independence Day 2015.
Here are 7 dishes that the World has India to thank for.......
Dosa: Between all the non-vegetarian dishes that rule the roost when it comes to world famous Indian foods, Dosa with Sambar stands proud as a vegan favourite!
Vindaloo: Sun, sand and Feni aren't the only things that the world associates Goa with! Vindaloo, the hugely popular dish, is a Goan adaptation of the Portugese 'carne de vinha d' alhos.' Usually made with pork, lamb or chicken, this curry is a hot favourite in restaurants the world over.
Chaat: Be it Bhelpuri, Jhalmuri, Aloo Tikki, Vada Pav, Pani Puri or what not, Chaat is the umbrella term that covers everything that's chatpata, quick and street!
Rasgulla: Believe it or not, but Rassogulla originated in Odisha centuries ago, much before its white spongy variant, the 'Rosogulla,' came into being in Kolkata! Perhaps it was Rosogulla's better storage life that made it reach every corner of the world to become a global favourite.
Butter Chicken: The one thing that truly deserves to be one of the top contenders is the Butter Chicken, believed to have originated in the quaint streets of old Delhi at the time of partition. Just who wouldn't love the combination of a mildly sweet tomato gravy and roasted chicken, loaded with butter and cream?
Masala Samosa: Even though the snack originated in Central Asia centuries ago, the classic aloo-matar version is considered to be desi at the core! Internationally, Samosa is served with practically every Indian meal in pretty much all the restaurants!
Wait for Part 2

Part 2 now.....
Chicken Tikka Masala: Never mind if your 'London wali maasi' didn't tell you this, but Chicken Tikka Masala is United Kingdom's favourite dish; so much so that a full-fledged campaign in Glasgow in 2009 tried claiming it as a British invention! Thank god for the food historians who believe the dish to have been developed from legendary chef Mrs Balbir Singh's recipe of Shahi Chicken Masala.
Chana Masala: Be it Punjab's Pindi Choley with Bhature, or Kerala's Kadala Curry with Appam, or the Rajasthani spicy variant served with Poori, Chana Masala is one dish that is hugely popular in all its avatars.
Gajar ka Halwa: Especially in North India, the winter season doesn't officially begin until you've had a bowlful of Gajar ka Halwa laden with dried fruits, nuts and ghee. And the best thing about the dish is that it continues to retain its original taste, no matter where in the world it is served.
Papad-Chutney: When it comes to Indian food, no meal is complete without some Papad and Chutney to keep you occupied till the food reaches your table. It isn't a surprise that at least a 100 different varieties of Papad and Chutney get served in restaurants across the world.
