Yes, this used to be a serious ceremony with both sides simply marching in with their full dress goose stepping style in absolutely perfect unison, attempting to look sharper than the other guys. It now appears to have descended (hasn't everything?) into an NBA Dunk Contest style "look at me" individual performance, complete with hot chick soldiers/cops (who aren't that good compared to the old days - but they ARE hot). I'm beginning to understand my Grandparents more each day. It IS all going to Hell.
I mean, this isn't how they sorted their issues. Many Indians and Pakistanis died fighting for freedom. This is just a reminder of those times in a more wholesome way. More than likely it'll kick off again in the near future.
@@sloht4061 Well the Indians fought for freedom, the Pakistanis fought for a theocracy of a foreign Arab religion, after most of them were forcefully converted.
@@tubester4567 No matter your opinion, people died. Either way, respect the individuals who perished rather than a social narrative. Men, women and children all died.

Every second of it is carefully choreographed by BOTH sides, working together. As funny as it is, these are professional soldiers cooperating. That's a force for peace that only politicians can overcome.

Honor and respect for both India and Pakistan. They are ancestors of brothers and sisters. I am sure both nations have many relatives in the other. If there must be conflict. Let it be like this only. Special prayers for Pakistan for suffering many floods. India, so glad that you are putting China in check. GOD speed everyone. Thanks for this video.

If the original Idea of Sukarno, Nehru, Ali from the Banding conference of 1955 would revive that these three countries (Indonesia, India & Pakistan) could combine forces, also with Thailand (without dictatorship) and VietNam, there would be a real new world power. A force fo the good - with al the philosophy and culture in the history of those countries - to compete peacefully with the USA, China, Russia and (Western) Europe. With a new vision on everything. The only problems to solve are poverty, environment, the thread to nature an climate change.
My brother was posted there for five years, I went to the ceremony twice, once with my daughter who was 7 years old then. It kind of fills your heart with pure national sentiments, pride and whatnot. It doesn't mean you must go there to prove your Indianness, but going there and seeing this all with your own eyes leaves you with highest level of love for your country.Jai Hind.
It's the craziest thing I've ever seen but there's something about it that really makes you appreciate the competitive nature yet also the comradery held by two rival nations.
I would say SEC college football energy is a fake neutered version of this. This is real tribal hostility. They have killed each other before and will likely do it again. We use football to keep Georgia and California from going to war with each otger

*That is without doubt, the Campest passive aggressive two sided military display I have ever seen.* *Though I was curious as to how John Cleese's Goose Step had become a competition between two nations.... ...Both sides were just Absolutely Fabulous!!*
but 'national pride' (like the nation state) is fiction, a bad fantasy. We better listen to good music, or the philosophy of Rabindranath Tagore and Abai Qunanbaiuly. Be brothers & sisters, and don't make war.

The war is hot enough to cause deaths, both soldiers and civilians. Respect to the locals, but maybe hold of the respect to the nations until the war is actually over.

There are 3 pressure points on Earth where things might erupt like a volcano at any moment. Israel vs Palestine is a civilizational war of Jews vs Muslims India vs Pakistan is civilizational war of Hindus vs Muslims North Korea vs South Korea is proxy war USA vs Russia/China. Among these 3 the most dangerous is India vs Pakistan as both are equally nuclear powered. So in case of the existnce is concerned civilizational wars are more lethal. Also considering India and Israel are two of the ancient still continuously living civilizations of the world fighting with a newly made one gives the ancient one more determination of "This is our land"... Palestine is fighting for existence, Pakistan is fighting for revenge without any reason even though its not harmed, North Korea is fighting for power Peace is never an option for these countries unless either of these economically weak countries completely collapses even so there will be problem.

10 years ago I had a travel to Pakistan and visited this...emmm...ceremony I think...at Wagah border. I still remember a old man in white, waving a huge Pakistan flag, proudly facing those Indian soldiers. That moment I was just 10 years old, his movement just reminded me what is a truly Patriot. Just wondering is he going well. And wish there’s no more war between India and Pakistan, no more war on this lovely planet.
I get the impression that this is synchronised. Each side has to mirror the other perfectly, so neither would seem to have "won" or more importantly "lost" or lose face.
It is synchronized. Choreographed and coordinated there would not be such an large army on one side ife there was not another army on the other side...
I saw this ceremony with my Overseas Adventure Travel group in 2018. It was a wonderful, yet surreal ceremony that I will never forget. Thank you, Andy, for your excellent photography and commentary. I smiled during your video remembering the crowd's enthusiasm and military posturing.
Both side are fantanstic ! They show off their border guards with such epic ceremony in peace & wonderful. Just like watching sports. (not a war at all). keep it up.
Beating retreat ceremony , was started in 1959 . People from near villages as well as other parts of the country visit here. The stadium , I've seen it since 2014 , it was built earlier than that .
Beating retreat is a must watch whenever anybody visits Amritsar, Punjab it is very close from there, stadium was there when I visited on 2006. It is the only official land gate between two countries. Even non Indian visitors will feel the goosebumps seeing live. 🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏
I believe the pavillion was built in the 80s. Fun fact- The road passing through the checkpoint is an ancient road called "Uttarapadha" built by Emperor Chandragupta Maurya in 320 BC.
@@vajidalipindiboy9694Any academic argument is weakened by not knowing how to use punctuation, correctly. Specially a hateful argument. Your lack of empathy and education is apparent. Peace and Love to both nations and their people from Australia! .
When they opened those gates, that was crazy. This could easily escalate to something really bad. That’s why it’s so incredible to watch. Each country has mutual respect and hatred for one another. And that keeps them from engaging it any further.
@@DrCrabfingers Yes Idk much about India-Pakistan relationship but I know they are not in a good terms. However as someone with lack of background knowledge Iam seeing this ceremony as their way of friendship. Showing your opponent your power and might while also showing respecting in the rivalry.
That was awesome! I wouldn't have been surprised if the military hype man had a t-shirt launcher. That's the coolest thing that's ever happened and an international border.
although they are enemies to each other, however, I have to say that they do cooperate deeply on this one. Similar style uniform, similar movement, same flag down speed, almost everything is the same, except those soldiers in different colors and represent different countries
@@mohananv5988 the India v Pakistan cricket matches are great to watch. The same passion and pent up anger as England v Germany , Brasil v Argentina, South Korea v Japan in football. A nation with a good rival and nemisis is a good thing. Keep it sport rather than war, though.
I disagree. North America's militaries are neither at war with each other, nor prone to such excess, preferring precision and discipline to flamboyance and disorder. Personally, I know it doesn't get the crowds going like this does but it is truly something to behold and can be both inspiring and intimidating in it's composure and unity. I've always been proud of our military performances and will continue to be, even without this flamboyance and fanfare.
@@toonmag50 it depends on the individual soldier and sometimes weapon they are using. I think both countries have great soldiers, maybe even the best in the world. But, it matters on the individual soldier. Not really nationality.
Thanks for sharing this. It's my hope and prayer that these two amazing countries are able to find a peaceful solution to their on again, off again war that they can both agree upon. The fact that both countries can come together for their flag ceremony is most definitely a start for finding a peaceful solution that can work. I can honestly say that since both countries are willing to do this ceremony every day, then I know for a fact they can definitely come together to find a solution for their dispute over Kashmir that can definitely be agreed upon by all involved. Again, thanks for sharing this!!
You are quite welcome, and I share your thoughts on the fact that these two countries, who have been at war several times, can cooperate on a ceremony like this. It does give some hope for the future;

Before 1947 there was no nation. Both were a colony of Mighty British empire and even before the mighty Brits came, there was no India. Just many Kingdoms which frequently used to change it's shape!
Great ceremony but I am amazed at how much the area has physically changed, much more built-up, than when Michael Palin, the TV presenter, was here on his Himalaya adventure.
The minister of sillly walks should watch this.
I love it, so much passion and pride for their respective countries
Everyone looks like they're having a great time.
And then we have liberals in the USA that hate their country

*That is without doubt, the Campest passive aggressive two sided military display I have ever seen.*
*Though I was curious as to how John Cleese's Goose Step had become a competition between two nations.... ...Both sides were just Absolutely Fabulous!!*
This place and ceremony is definitely on my bucket list.
The border ceremonies at the border are now currently suspended cos of the coronavirus crisis in India so I hear.
No there still happening but I think spectators are not aloud on indias side
No
Dude... That was amazing....that is a rare glimpse of national pride.
but 'national pride' (like the nation state) is fiction, a bad fantasy. We better listen to good music, or the philosophy of Rabindranath Tagore and Abai Qunanbaiuly. Be brothers & sisters, and don't make war.
I read somewhere online that this ceremony happens on a DAILY basis. This seems like overkill, but can someone confirm?
Yes, it is on a daily basis.
Yes its Daily Routine ... Response From A Pakistani
Yup
I feel bad for their legs tho
@@vin6665 Both the countries have a huge population, so every day there's a new guy! Don't worry too much!
That looks so fun..bet you had a blast
It was almost surreal. It was certainly unique and it was something I'll never forget.
That was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It's too bad we cannot settle debates with a dance-off like this seems to be. Amazing though, that this has been going on since 1959 when there is so much animosity between each side.

This also shows how much the citizens of this country absolutely love their country
No more like how Partition doesn't matter among the same people if it's the same Culture
People loving their country is not the problem, it's hating others that causes conflicts.

Pride on both sides with every reason, just goes to prove Cooler Heads & Respect can prevail, glad I stumbled on this video never knew or seen this before….
Thank You for sharing…..
I've never in my life (72) seen any military preform anyway like this, ever! Can you even imagine the United States Marine Corps doing something like this? It boggles the mind.
indian side is not military,its border police which we call BSF(border security force)
Oops ! Russia doens't share borders with USA .
The Indian BSF are a Paramilitary organisation sort of like a border swat team
BSF is just for border and when comes to fighting war or anything then the Indian Army jumps in.
If the US had a land border with the Soviet Union, that would be something both sides would do, just to see who would have more swag and who's drip is stuntin'.
Another one added to my bucket list!!! 🇮🇳🇵🇰

Respect to both nations and particularly the folk in this region. Setting a wonderful example AND having fun as well.
The war is hot enough to cause deaths, both soldiers and civilians. Respect to the locals, but maybe hold of the respect to the nations until the war is actually over.

You're welcome and I totally agree!
There are 3 pressure points on Earth where things might erupt like a volcano at any moment. Israel vs Palestine is a civilizational war of Jews vs Muslims
India vs Pakistan is civilizational war of Hindus vs Muslims
North Korea vs South Korea is proxy war USA vs Russia/China.
Among these 3 the most dangerous is India vs Pakistan as both are equally nuclear powered.
So in case of the existnce is concerned civilizational wars are more lethal. Also considering India and Israel are two of the ancient still continuously living civilizations of the world fighting with a newly made one gives the ancient one more determination of "This is our land"... Palestine is fighting for existence, Pakistan is fighting for revenge without any reason even though its not harmed, North Korea is fighting for power
Peace is never an option for these countries unless either of these economically weak countries completely collapses even so there will be problem.
Can some one please tell me how often do these ceremonies take place? Absolutely fascinating thank you.
It takes place every early evening, so daily.
While watching I couldn't sit tight as I could feel increase in blood flow..Jai Hind....proud Indian..

Why do they say zindabad here instead of jay hind?

10 years ago I had a travel to Pakistan and visited this...emmm...ceremony I think...at Wagah border. I still remember a old man in white, waving a huge Pakistan flag, proudly facing those Indian soldiers. That moment I was just 10 years old, his movement just reminded me what is a truly Patriot. Just wondering is he going well. And wish there’s no more war between India and Pakistan, no more war on this lovely planet.

Impressive. I’d love to go see this with my eyes. 😁👍🏻❤
This is great to watch. Peace and love to both country 😊 ❤️ From PHILIPPINES.
Peace and love 🤣🤣
I get the impression that this is synchronised. Each side has to mirror the other perfectly, so neither would seem to have "won" or more importantly "lost" or lose face.
It is synchronized. Choreographed and coordinated there would not be such an large army on one side ife there was not another army on the other side...
I saw this ceremony with my Overseas Adventure Travel group in 2018. It was a wonderful, yet surreal ceremony that I will never forget. Thank you, Andy, for your excellent photography and commentary. I smiled during your video remembering the crowd's enthusiasm and military posturing.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that you got to enjoy this surreal ceremony in person.

Actually, you can see the remnants of training during the British colonial days in how they march.

yea me too, but you know they are carrying the lathi with them? if on the way back some one tries to Rape them , they can protect themselves.

Been there.. I literally got goosebumps during whole ceremony.

@@hjmchannel897 that is the point where you stop sniffing the armpits, that weird fantasy of yours.
Both side are fantanstic ! They show off their border guards with such epic ceremony in peace & wonderful. Just like watching sports. (not a war at all). keep it up.
When did they build that huge stadium for this? How did this grow into such a massive spectacle?
I believe it was built somewhere between 2017-2019.
Beating retreat ceremony , was started in 1959 . People from near villages as well as other parts of the country visit here. The stadium , I've seen it since 2014 , it was built earlier than that .
Beating retreat is a must watch whenever anybody visits Amritsar, Punjab it is very close from there, stadium was there when I visited on 2006. It is the only official land gate between two countries. Even non Indian visitors will feel the goosebumps seeing live. 🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏
Correction..
Expanded since '14
I believe the pavillion was built in the 80s. Fun fact- The road passing through the checkpoint is an ancient road called "Uttarapadha" built by Emperor Chandragupta Maurya in 320 BC.

When they opened those gates, that was crazy. This could easily escalate to something really bad. That’s why it’s so incredible to watch. Each country has mutual respect and hatred for one another. And that keeps them from engaging it any further.

Ah they will have a gunfight coz of paranoia or smth lol
although they are enemies to each other, however, I have to say that they do cooperate deeply on this one. Similar style uniform, similar movement, same flag down speed, almost everything is the same, except those soldiers in different colors and represent different countries
All of those words and yet, you still managed to say nothing...
Same flag?

This looks like something we should try at the Canada/US border. Some sorta flag pushing ceremony into each other's faces.
With a bit less nuclear threat and war. Just a little
I disagree. North America's militaries are neither at war with each other, nor prone to such excess, preferring precision and discipline to flamboyance and disorder. Personally, I know it doesn't get the crowds going like this does but it is truly something to behold and can be both inspiring and intimidating in it's composure and unity. I've always been proud of our military performances and will continue to be, even without this flamboyance and fanfare.
The Canadian soldiers would be more precise and disciplined .
@@KiltedKrusader i agree with you, i’d rather Canada and The USA cooperating rather than showing off tp each other.
@@toonmag50 it depends on the individual soldier and sometimes weapon they are using. I think both countries have great soldiers, maybe even the best in the world. But, it matters on the individual soldier. Not really nationality.
this is actually heartwarming, seeing how proud they are, just show how much they love their nation..
Thanks for sharing this. It's my hope and prayer that these two amazing countries are able to find a peaceful solution to their on again, off again war that they can both agree upon. The fact that both countries can come together for their flag ceremony is most definitely a start for finding a peaceful solution that can work. I can honestly say that since both countries are willing to do this ceremony every day, then I know for a fact they can definitely come together to find a solution for their dispute over Kashmir that can definitely be agreed upon by all involved. Again, thanks for sharing this!!
You are quite welcome, and I share your thoughts on the fact that these two countries, who have been at war several times, can cooperate on a ceremony like this. It does give some hope for the future;
