Happy Independence Day to one and all! It’s now been 61 years since India became an independent country. Time to celebrate…

Now the interesting part! If you are a Times Of India newspaper subscriber then do check out the 4th and the 8th page. Have a clear look at the ads. Yediyurappa (surprisingly found him on wiki), the Chief Minister of Karnataka, (Ad) says that it is the 62nd year of independence on page 4 and 8. Is he an illiterate or something? ![]()
I have taken the shots of those ads. Check them out!

Dude, it could have been a typo on TOI’s side you know?
I don’t think so da. There is another ad by a politician on page 19. How come that is printed correctly?
And moreover, that Yeddy’s ad is printed on two different pages with different topics. And that ad is given by the Govt of Karnataka…
See the symbol of the top-right corner of the first pic..
But still, what you say also might be possible…
lol he might have told it in the Indian way
i.e. say the year which is beginning 
This confusion happens every year.See the logic behind is that if u count like in birthday we do..India completed 1 yr in 1948 and so on. Then it comes out to 61 years of Independence or 61st Independence day. But actually India is a country not a human which became free in 1947 itself so why not count 1947-1948? So that makes 62nd Independence day, 15th Aug 1947 being the 1st Independence day. In Government matters this maths is followed.
ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!!!!!! good one good one sooooooooooo ignorant
Happy Independence Day
Oh!!! What a mistake.
Happy Independence Day to you too.
Hehehhe… That’s why I don’t get TOI
LOL ..what a blunder..
happy independence day
I think Reema is right. Because it seems impossible that TOI managed to ignore this.
Hey Joel How r u?
Happy Independence Day! (Belated though)!
Btwn :I liked S.M. Krishna,the earlier CM. He was genuine.
Wish you Happy 62nd Year of Independence.
P.S> I find your site slow to load sometimes. And many times it timeouts or returns not found error. I am not sure I am alone facing this but I have tried both in my office and home. Sometimes it opens in a flash. Don’t know why
Why don’t you write them a letter and ask for an explanation?

[...] It’s been a long time since I had logged in to my dashboard and made a new blog post on my blog. Well, had some spiders, cockroaches and some mess around my admin area. Got them cleaned up and here I am with an update on my blog since August 15th 2008 [...]
Actually, he says it’s 62nd year, which means it has been 61 years after we got independence and this is the 62nd year.
