Well the British did have some system but most Indians(only India at that time) Didn't even know their true age or give attention to it. Even my grandmother's true age is unknown

Many of my relatives born around that time do not know their actual age. They usually use their passport d.o.b. As their actual age although it can be completely wrong by months and even years.

Wow. Man, it sucks to not know when you were truly born.

That generation mostly consisted of grafters and people who faced huge odds (the great war, extreme poverty, student movements, Uganda etc). They didn't care too much about Birthdays. Some of the elders even now don't care about their DoB. They don't see any actual value in it compared to things which they consist are important e.g. family, charity, work....
