1. The Declaration of Indian Independence (or Purna Swaraj) was passed on 26 January 1930. That is why the Constitution was adopted on the same day in 1950 when India became a Republic. India was the first nation to do so in the Commonwealth of nations eventually being followed by many others.
In that sense the independence for both Pakistan wand India was in August 1947 but the dominion status left later on.
2. For your second question, you do understand that the Governor-general even if it was symbolic was a representative or appointed head of the King/Queen of UK. If you regard the Indian Independence on 15 Aug as a myth on account of Lord Mountbatten being English then the same can go for Pakistan as MA Jinnah was Indian. Both the 2 G-Gs of India and 4 G-Gs of Pakistan and Pakistan was appointed by the King/Queen of UK, even though it was the home govts. selection.
Moreover, AFAIK the 1st Constitution of Pakistan came only in 1956 when it became an Islamic Republic, so my question to you would be Which "constitution" did Jinnah took an oath on? Until 1956 Pakistan was governed under the Government of India Act of 1935.
just a tidbit...the present Queen Elizabeth II of the UK was also ironically the Queen of Pakistan from 1952 to March 1956.
