I love this ceremony and if two countries can get all of their macho posturing out in one ceremony and then live side by side peacefully, They have a lot to teach the rest of us. Long may it continue.
@@stevendimmock4791 This ceremony has always confused me because the border is still contentious and these two countries aren’t on the best terms. So many little Indian girls are kidnapped by Muslim Pakistani men, taken across the border and forced to convert and marry. This ceremony is like candy coating a snake. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of wonderful Pakistani’s, but the bad ones seem to have been given free reign.
I now know where the British comedian John Cleese got the inspiration when he made the skit of the "Ministry of Silly walks". This ceremony though very elaborate and spectacular is if looked at objectively hilarious. It's macho male posturing in the extreme.
😂Perhaps one of the many questionable things the British left India and other countries upon those nations' independence. I wonder if Monty Python translates well in India and Pakistan?
As Winston Churchill might have said "Never, in the field of human conflict, have so many moustaches, been groomed to such military perfection, by so many."
your sure the butcher of Bengal, Mr Churchill said that? He also has been quoted as blaming the famine on the fact Indians were “breeding like rabbits”, and asking how, if the shortages were so bad, Mahatma Gandhi was still alive, as well as redirecting a sizeable amount of money from Bengal to aid the war efforts instead helping the relief of the famine which killed up to 3 million people. Not that you care.
@@seamusoflatcap just as I thought. As long as it’s not you or your family or your ancestors you would not care. Typical English attitude towards the world. As long as your fed fu@@ the rest.
All western political leaders should see this to have a better understanding of Russia. That is, in person, and not on video. A very primal show of strength.
Russia is a poor state, where many people don't have indoor toilets or sealed roads, trying to be an imperialist empire run by a corrupt and brutal kleptocrate. What is there to learn? Other than how not to run a country.
Helps keep the border friendly as most of the people in the area are related even if distantly, the people have been there for a few thousand years but the border was created carving Pakistan from India after WW2.
This is artistically beautiful and poignant in meaning....but people seem to forget that it only takes one order on either side to green light aggression. True peace is when neither side has military alert, and all of this is in a museum. The same hostilities with the ccp.
From what I understand both sides get together and plan the show. They are very respectful and do their utmost to show pride in their flag ceremony. The handshake was very important and the crowd cheered happily. This ceremony is a very bright and hopeful event for two countries with nuclear weapons that are still in a war standing.
If there are aliens out there, hopefully they're watching this fine display of military bravado, wherever they are, and think to themselves "We're not going to earth, they've got 2 metre high cockerels with guns".
Excellent display from both sides. As Pakistan came into being after British rule, why is it that this is attributed to them? I’m Scottish but born in India so perhaps I should shut up.
Интересно, зрители покупают билеты на это шоу?! Хороший способ пополнить военный бюджет! Если народам нравится эта традиция - пусть сохраняют, но забавно!
John Cleese at his best. Wasn’t like that under the British all one happy family for 300 years. Pakistan,india,Bangladesh,Sri Lanka, Burma. Now look at it. Millions starving and wasting money putting an unmanned space craft on the moon!
WAH WAH WAH PAKISTANIES WONDERFUL I couldn’t get Pakistani people because they came to watch the parade .Celebrating Independence Day. Our country is going down. We have no food, no medicine, and look at our currency. Look at the Indian currency, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and even Nipal, our currency is lower than theirs. Our dollar rate touches the mountain. Indian people are celebrating. I understand their country is flourishing and getting stronger. Shame on those people who were watching the parade and cheering them on the other hand, our county has already bankrupted. In 1971 war between India and Pakistan we lost the whole Bangladesh and here we talk about Azad Kashmir. Our armies killed so many innocent people 25 March 1971 Tikka Khan’s ordered to his soldiers was “ I want the land and not the people” Tikka Khan was ordered to the Operation Searchlight. Thousands were killed in this operation, including academics and other members of civil society, and the country was plunged into a bloody civil war.
since the description does not describe I will. The Beating Retreat Ceremony at the Attari-Wagah Border is a daily military spectacle that takes place on the international border between India and Pakistan: What happens: Soldiers from both countries march in a synchronized drill, lower their national flags, and then shake hands. The ceremony ends with the closing of the iron gates at the border. When it happens: The ceremony takes place every evening, with the timing depending on the season.
Anyone else get the feeling that India and Pakistan only started their border tensions as a way to sell tickets to this show? Just a sneaky way to generate interest in a colorful display of national pride?
Hi! Two countries are having a friendly marching ceremony competition at their boarder. The two countries are India and Pakistan, who are political enemies.
I love this ceremony and if two countries can get all of their macho posturing out in one ceremony and then live side by side peacefully, They have a lot to teach the rest of us. Long may it continue.

@@MayimHastings Please can you provide evidence to support your claim.
@@Northstander - There is no nation on earth worse than India, in how they treat women. As many as forty thousand rapes a year.
Every time I see this I think of Monty Python and the Ministry of Silly Walks sketch.
@@BruceMusto 😂😂
Unequivicably disagree...this is much sillier...😁
😂😂😂
Let it stay this way. I wish them peacefull coexistence.
this ritual must last as long as both countries exist - this is priceless heritage
How are we going to fight this war Sir? DANCE OFF BRO!!!!! and shake hands.
@@sebastianbaena7853 Not so much a dance off as a drill off.
Gud to c that they cn shake hands like gentlemen
This is the best reason to visit India in my opinion. Sure there are others, but this is the BEST!
💯💯👋👋👍👍!!! Legacy of the PAST ! From, U.K. (2024).
I now know where the British comedian John Cleese got the inspiration when he made the skit of the "Ministry of Silly walks". This ceremony though very elaborate and spectacular is if looked at objectively hilarious. It's macho male posturing in the extreme.
How do they manage to do this and keep a straight face. It's hilarious.
This is not unlike British army apprentice drill from the 70s. If you were ever one, you'll know exactly what I mean.
Wish we could all just shake hands and relax. Truly an inspiration
Are you sure that the rivalry is "of a bygone era ???".... Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷.
Fantastic spectacle from both sides
Music brings Peace !!! Thanks for the video just beautiful and informative.
It’s. GREAT thing to see. And what you’ve seen here is just a fragment of the entire “show”. Go see for yourself.
They do it better than anyone else.
That is spectacular !!❤❤❤❤
A beautiful place to visit (Attari-Wagah border), an only day of very to show the tight friendship between Pakistan and India. Jai Hind 🇮🇳 🤝🇵🇰
Been there, seen it, got a seat right at the at the gate, most impressive, from Canada.
Nice ceremony 👍
I love it. Kind of waiting for the disco music to start up though. I would need to stretch to lick that high.
Brought to you by the Indian Ministry of Silly Walks!

@Billy-The-Goat It was a deliberate misquote and you're right, I don't care.

Gaurd comander ki awaz kiya baat hai love you indian Army
Long livew India!!
One word - badass!
I saw this in 2020 when visiting from Australia, it was an absolute spectacle and the crowd was in a frenzy, the video doesn’t do it justice
It’s amazing that Goose-stepping never goes out of style…
Looks like love-hate demonstration. But mostly love. May it be peace for ever.
Vande maatram bharat Mata ki ji 🙏
So fierce!
I’m sure we will be seeing this in the UK soon
Jai hind jai bharat 🙏 hamara bharatiya jawan hamesha salamat rahe ❤
Perhaps THIS is where Monty Python's "Ministry of funny Walks" skits drew their inspiration.
Very colorful! I invite you to watch a USMC Silent Drill Team performance.
I think the Indians won that one.
Chef says "you just got served"

This is the most bizarre ritual.
Makes both countries like a comedy show, done to entertain the audience rather than project professionalism.
Totally miss the point. Well done both sides.
Wow-- New heights of human ridiculousness.
I'm sorry , no disrespect, but it still reminds me of the Ministry of Silly Walks.....
Quanta esaltazione!
Helps keep the border friendly as most of the people in the area are related even if distantly, the people have been there for a few thousand years but the border was created carving Pakistan from India after WW2.
Indian army ZINDABAAD
As a Welshman, can I pick sides of course, not the sad thing is, we’ve only seen one side?🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
Things were never the same after the British left. No refinement.
اللہ اکبر ۔ پاکستان کا ببر شیر آگیا
The man at 4:30 in the video looks like Benny Hill in costume. A lot of the marching looks like it came from Monty Python ministry of silly walks
More comical than the British border force
This is artistically beautiful and poignant in meaning....but people seem to forget that it only takes one order on either side to green light aggression. True peace is when neither side has military alert, and all of this is in a museum. The same hostilities with the ccp.
Better than Australia's break dancers
Why dont pakistan has audience. Our background is filled with people
The Body Odour must be intense at this ceremony!🫢🤮
The way they are handling it seems to be exacerbating the animosity between the two countries.
From what I understand both sides get together and plan the show. They are very respectful and do their utmost to show pride in their flag ceremony. The handshake was very important and the crowd cheered happily.
This ceremony is a very bright and hopeful event for two countries with nuclear weapons that are still in a war standing.
If your enemies are laughing their asses off they can not attac you.
Reminds me of the Maori haka, although there's really nothing quite like it.
If there are aliens out there, hopefully they're watching this fine display of military bravado, wherever they are, and think to themselves "We're not going to earth, they've got 2 metre high cockerels with guns".
Excellent display from both sides. As Pakistan came into being after British rule, why is it that this is attributed to them? I’m Scottish but born in India so perhaps I should shut up.
I'm guessing that the Pakistanis started doing it because the Indians were putting on a show on their side.
Why do i think of Michael Jackson watching this. Much better way to contest between two nations…dance off

The ministry of silly walks is real!!!! John cleese would fit in perfectly!!!😂😂😂😂😂

Both sides must practice and drink together and tell Newfie jokes.

OK, John Cleese must have been here at one point.
Looks like something from a Borat movie.
What a fucking comedy, what makes it worse is both these nations have nuclear weapons.
Yeh, and you’ve paid for them.
Thats hilarious...
Reminds me of Monty Pythons.
Love by Indian
Is this ceremony a offshoot of the British Colonial past? Seems like something the Brit’s would do during the Colonial era.
This is what happens when you don't have football in your life. The NFL could do wonders for peace between these two
Pretty yes.....but can they fight??
Pakistan - 1 gold medal.
India - 0 gold medal.
Are these guys serious??😂 Looks like they're checking they're shoes
for dog poo!💩
All the luck to India in defense of its border with China and Pakistan stay strong India you are the good guy.
Jay ho
This is the famous hate between India and Pakistan? Cm'on...🤣🤣🤣🤣
Missing Benny Hill Music
What was going on cause I didn't understand it one bit?
Hi! Two countries are having a friendly marching ceremony competition at their boarder. The two countries are India and Pakistan, who are political enemies.
Border Crossing Closing Ceremony
So it's Indians vs converted Indians..
This is got to be some of the stupidest shit I’ve ever seen in my whole entire life😂
Pure theater. Neither dignified nor professional.
All those telemarketers……..😮
Someone needs to tell them they are being completely ridiculous...
Who came up with all of this choreography? Why? Is this a daily spectacle?
India and Pakistan
India declare war
India and china
India declare block app china
