I was not going to but I could not help myself. Happy number 60, Pakistan. And tomorrow, we can all wish India congratulations on forming a country out of the parts of South Asia that were not already Pakistan.
A funny story... The biggest India booster I know and I were talking about various countries' independence days (unfortunately, not iterations of the soul-shakingly awesome action film with Will Smith) a while back and she was insisting that India gained its independence before Pakistan. We argued back and forth for quite a while, with her insisting India was five years older. Eventually, we consulted the intarnets because neither of us would give up. We figured out that her belief was based entirely on her recollection of the movie 1942 A Love Story and that tells you basically all you need to know about that.
