Why would someone living in Canada celebrate the independence of a country they no longer live in, particularly when Canada itself remains a monarchy?
That's a much more philosophical question about immigrant identity and national loyalty.
India became independent from the British Empire in 1947, whereas Canada had already developed substantial self-government and constitutional autonomy before that. Canada later retained the Crown as part of its own constitutional system. Canada's government describes the modern Crown as a uniquely Canadian institution.
