In light of the improving relations between India and Pakistan, the daily lowering of the flags at the Wagah border will move away from "insolent salutes" and "aggressive poses" and will inculcate "friendly postures" (Daily Times, Pakistan). Both the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) and Pakistan Rangers will implement the changes.
Posted by Harshal at April 07, 2004 01:48 PMI WENT TO THE WAGAH BORDER IN APRIL 2003. I NEVER KNEW THAT SUCH A CEROMONY EXISTED. IT WAS EXCITING AND I WAS HONORED TO WATCH IT, AS IT MADE ME FEEL PROUD OF MY COUNTRY. I THINK THAT THE CEROMONY IS FERFECT THE WAY IT IS THE POSSES WERE EXCELLENT AND MADE THE CROWD CHEER EVEN MORE. EVERYONE KNOWS IT IS JUST TO PUT ON A GOOD SHOW FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THERE I DON'T THINK ANYONE WAS INTIMADATED IN ANY WAY. IF THE CEROMONY IS CHANGED, THEN I DON'T THINK THE CROWD WOULD BE AS FIRED UP AS WHEN THEY WERE WITH THE OLD CEROMONY. I AM GOING TO INDIA AGAIN THIS FEBRUARY AND HOPE TO SEE THE ORIGINAL CEROMONY.
