Every year, the Asian neighbours celebrate their Independence Days within a gap of 24 hours of each other.
While Pakistan celebrated its Independence Day on Monday, India is celebrating its 71st Independence Day on Tuesday.
Both the countries have witnessed several wars and conflicts in the past 70 years of their relationship.
And in recent times, the relationship between the two nations has turned sour amid continuous ceasefire violations and terror attacks from the Pakistani side.
