Independent Obsession

When you ask a controversial question like "‘India attained Independence from British colonial rule on August 15, 1947’. True or false?" then you are setting yourself up for the long haul, with the kind of not-so collegial debate, irrespective of whether you answer "True" or "False".

However, Pankaj Phadnis, Group Vice-President of the Wadia Group of companies, seems to have this well and truly under control and has his own political, historical and technical reasoning to back the significance of this question.
