Here is another case of GUD governance ......... I was born in Wazirabad ( now in Pakistan ) in 1945 and migrated to India in 1947 . I studied in a govt school and later joined Army as a commissioned Officer . My date of birth as recorded in matric certificate and later in Army documents was a valid doc . Now , I need valid Birth Certificate to apply for Green Card , however no auth is coming forward to help me and instead advise me to contact Pakistan govt for the same ....... How silly is the answer !! Any advise / help ? more
