Why isn't there any mention of India's Independence on BBC's August 15 On this day archive? Perhaps its just too obvious, or just that BBC doesn't consider it a significant event. This is a shame, considering the fact that lot many people opine - the media gaint is 'unbiased'.
UPDATE: ah, it seems that I missed this part:
On This Day is a showcase of some of the most significant as well as some of the quirkier stories broadcast by BBC News since 1950 and now including a new World War II section.
from this page (emphasis mine).
They should perhaps name this feature "On this day from 1950 - " + worldwar or something, then ;) The title sounds highly inappropriate.

they still seem to be treating us as underdogs. why do we look up to them. we have our own news channels and for that matter all independent stuff lets go independent.

true :) I'm eager to see the day when Indian channels would play a major role in the international arena.
Seeing how channels like NDTV have boomed into prominence, I don't think the day's quite far.
