Watch: Exceptional Beating Retreat Ceremony At Attari-Wagah Border This Year | Beating Retreat

[@BruceMusto]

Every time I see this I think of Monty Python and the Ministry of Silly Walks sketch.

[@adamacny4602]

Let it stay this way. I wish them peacefull coexistence.

[@stevendimmock4791]

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]

@@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.

[@Northstander]

@@MayimHastings Please can you provide evidence to support your claim.

[@dennissvitak5475]

@@Northstander - There is no nation on earth worse than India, in how they treat women. As many as forty thousand rapes a year.

[@vladimirratputin]

A lot to teach the rest of us? Like Christian persecution in Pakistan? Round the clock terror? Or daily rapes in India? Lack of toilets in India?

[@leisureenjoyer1986]

this ritual must last as long as both countries exist - this is priceless heritage

[@sebastianbaena7853]

How are we going to fight this war Sir? DANCE OFF BRO!!!!! and shake hands.

[@mymartianhome]

@@sebastianbaena7853 Not so much a dance off as a drill off.

[@william6682]

How do they manage to do this and keep a straight face. It's hilarious.

[@HHHGeorge]

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.

[@zelphx]

The most CIVILIZED military display in the world.

[@pmajudge]

💯💯👋👋👍👍!!! Legacy of the PAST ! From, U.K. (2024).

[@PurpleFinchFarm]

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.

[@alexisleon23]

Are you sure that the rivalry is "of a bygone era ???".... Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷.

[@bruscifer]

This is the best reason to visit India in my opinion. Sure there are others, but this is the BEST!

[@jaredellis2754]

Jesus, if thats the best, i hate to see the worst.

[@bruscifer]

@@jaredellis2754 I was remarking on something that seems cool to me. I have never been to India, so I wouldn't know for a fact what the BEST reason to visit is. If you do, enlighten us please.

[@wiking08]

Gud to c that they cn shake hands like gentlemen

[@gilesfarmer5953]

This is not unlike British army apprentice drill from the 70s. If you were ever one, you'll know exactly what I mean.

[@basilsas]

Wish we could all just shake hands and relax. Truly an inspiration

[@palawanese1067]

wow. what a clear and fresh air!

[@seamusoflatcap]

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."

[@Billy-The-Goat]

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]

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

[@Billy-The-Goat]

@@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.

[@samspade2131]

It’s. GREAT thing to see. And what you’ve seen here is just a fragment of the entire “show”. Go see for yourself.

[@scotsmanofnewengland7713]

Music brings Peace !!! Thanks for the video just beautiful and informative.

[@robsin2810]

They do it better than anyone else.

[@hinefamily7565]

Makes both countries like a comedy show, done to entertain the audience rather than project professionalism.

[@KalapatapuShreyas2013]

A beautiful place to visit (Attari-Wagah border), an only day of very to show the tight friendship between Pakistan and India. Jai Hind 🇮🇳 🤝🇵🇰

[@davidlilley2068]

Totally miss the point. Well done both sides.

[@Palanibert]

Brought to you by the Indian Ministry of Silly Walks!

[@nukerock2451]

😂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?

[@davidoldboy5425]

Fantastic spectacle from both sides

[@brianmsahin]

That is spectacular !!❤❤❤❤

[@timenglert8998]

Wow-- New heights of human ridiculousness.

Nice ceremony 👍

[@MC-BigCara]

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

[@stumon2616]

I'm sorry , no disrespect, but it still reminds me of the Ministry of Silly Walks.....

[@stevegabbert9626]

I love it. Kind of waiting for the disco music to start up though. I would need to stretch to lick that high.

Perhaps THIS is where Monty Python's "Ministry of funny Walks" skits drew their inspiration.

One word - badass!

[@nigelscott1922]

This is the most bizarre ritual.

[@Dabebo-xk2bt]

Very colorful! I invite you to watch a USMC Silent Drill Team performance.

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.

[@snuscaboose1942]

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.

[@jimkellberg]

Chef says "you just got served"

[@travelplanner7056]

The way they are handling it seems to be exacerbating the animosity between the two countries.

[@raymondcarter1137]

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.

[@janetleslie3917]

So fierce!

[@DocMacLovin]

If your enemies are laughing their asses off they can not attac you.

[@seminolesuperfan5756]

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.

[@donaldsmith1055]

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

[@titan1856]

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.

[@Ehehtihtahhh]

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.

[@joeylawn36111]

I'm guessing that the Pakistanis started doing it because the Indians were putting on a show on their side.

[@kennethmorgan7949]

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!

[@andrewmogg591]

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".

[@R.J._Lewis]

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?

[@altaylor3988]

I agree wholeheartedly with the Comment below re Monty Python Dept of Silly Walks....I think they make it up each DAY

[@Subgunman]

Is this ceremony a offshoot of the British Colonial past? Seems like something the Brit’s would do during the Colonial era.

[@ehtashamhassan3621]

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.

[@kevinfoster926]

What a fucking comedy, what makes it worse is both these nations have nuclear weapons.

Yeh, and you’ve paid for them.

[@elenasilina-j1r]

Reminds me of the Maori haka, although there's really nothing quite like it.

Why do i think of Michael Jackson watching this. Much better way to contest between two nations…dance off
