View Full Version : Daily Closing India-Pakistan Border
Keep in mind we're talking two members of the nuclear club here - I think I need a paleofecalist to explain this ceremony to me.

Richard Former British Colonies, Old Chap.
What?
Enemies yes, but that doesn't mean we can't be civil, Sport.
They both play Cricket.
I think that has something to do with it.

Definitely British, but the showing of the sole of the shoe to the other side does raise interesting questions. Never saw the British bring the foot up that high before. :munchin :D
Gotta like those hats! :rolleyes:

How about the "staches"? :D
The Ministry of Silly Walks (John Cleese, Chairman?)
The Ministry of Tall Goofy Hats
The Ministry of Mustache Grooming
Many players were obviously involved in the production.
Wow, just wow. For all their posturing and hating, they seem pretty civil when closing the doors :D
Oh, and they take goose-stepping to a whole new level. :p
Silly walks good, old school 'staches good, no one understands the rules of cricket anyway, just don't nuke each other...
This is the ceremony that happens at the Wagah Border in Punjab.This border is more of a tourist destination hence the ceremony at no other border does such a a ceremony take place,the real hell borders are all in Kashmir as we have our buddies Pakistan and China on both sides.In the Kashmir areas sometimes the Pakistani Army does shelling and firing so that they can send their token of appreciation(the terrorists) to Kashmir and in a few days like good people our Army and SF return the thanks by sending them to their 72 virgins(best gift they'd want).
The people featured on the Indian side are the BSF(Border Security Force) it is a paramilitary force and is not an arm of the Indian Army.The high lifting of legs and gestures are for the crowd and to show the animosity we have.The mustaches and turbans are remainders of the British rule days.
Yes we do fight over cricket too but we wont throw nukes on each other it is the crazy LeT folks and the late Iliyas Kashmiri(thank you USA for taking him out) who want to do it.
