False.
It was 77th Independence Day and 76 years of Independence.
The day nation gets Independence, they celebrate 1st Independence Day on that occasion and hence the counting.

Sure, if you want to count from 1930 as well now...

Yes

Not technically since British were still in Indian subcontinent and left only after the Quit India Movement.
