Irony of India's Indy Celebrations

The BBC news said: "as part of India's Independence celebrations ...",
STV: "today India celebrated 60 years of Independence from the UK",
The Telegraph: "India has celebrated 60 years ..."
The Age (Australian newspaper): "India has much to celebrate as it marks the 60th anniversary of its independence from British rule"
Canada's Prime Minister: "India's Independence has been an inspiration to the world".
