Attari–Wagah border ceremony
text:
The ceremony at the Attari–Wagah border is a daily ceremony that the security forces of India and Pakistan have jointly followed since 1959. The drill is characterized by elaborate and rapid dance-like manoeuvres and raising legs as high as possible, which have been described as "colourful". It is both a symbol of the two countries’ rivalry, and a display of brotherhood and cooperation between the two nations. Similar parades are organised at the Mahavir/Sadqi border near Fazilka, and the Hussai
