Lowering Of Flags At Wagah Border

Description: At Wagah, the only road-border crossing between India and Pakistan, the evening guards at both the countries' ends engage in a ceremony called 'the lowering of the flags'. It seems to foreigners an aggressive and bizarre ritual of brinkmanship. This extraordinary cross-border entertainment, which exists since 1947, is a reminder of the drama spilling over into real war.
