WATCH: BEATING RETREAT AT ATTARI-WAGAH BORDER ON INDEPENDENCE DAY

SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE THE CEREMONY, ENTHUSIASTIC SPECTATORS BEGAN TRICKLING INTO
SITTING AREAS ON EITHER SIDE OF CHUNKY IRON GATES SEPARATING THE TWO NATIONS AT
THE ATTARI-WAGAH FRONTIER.

As the sun set on the India-Pakistan border, crowds went wild and soldiers
goose-stepped in a chest-puffing theatrical ritual at the Beating Retreat at the
Attari-Wagah frontier symbolising India's 76th Independence Day on Monday.



The ritual has been a daily military exercise for India's Border Security Force
(BSF) and Pakistan Rangers since 1959.

Several hours before the ceremony, enthusiastic spectators began trickling into
sitting areas on either side of chunky iron gates separating the two nations at
the Attari-Wagah border.

On the Indian side, there is space for 25,000 spectators - more than on the
other side - chanting "India Zindabad" as a group of people perform with flags
and dance wildly to the patriotic playlist.

On the special occasion of ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’, there were several songs
and dance performances at the event.

Soldiers from both sides soon arrive, stomping up to the gate, kicking their
legs up - the Indians in red-fanned hats and khaki uniforms, the Pakistanis in a
dapper black.

Then the gates will open. A tall Indian soldier will twirl his moustache with
menacing intent and flexes his biceps, with equally lofty Pakistani soldiers
standing just a couple of feet away.

The Beating Retreat will draw to a close with the lowering of the flags and a
handshake. The flags will be folded and the massive iron gates clunk will shut.



India and Pakistan, which celebrate 75 years of independence from Britain next
week, share deep cultural and linguistic links.
