How many times will you stand at the border where, years ago, Sir Cyril Radcliffe, drew the line between India and Pakistan?
At Wagah, hundreds of people gather not only to see the retreat ceremony where BSF soldiers kick high in the air, but also to revel in patriotic fervour amidst an animated crowd.
One can also hear the loud and resonating cheers from the Pakistan side of Wagah as the Indians rally along the border at the same time.
But if you haven’t been party to what goes on at Wagah, worry not! Plug in your headphones and experience the Wagah parade this Independence Day at your home.
