Wagah is the only road border crossing between India and Pakistan. The village of Wagah was cut in half in 1947 by the controversial Radcliffe line dividing India and Pakistan, and granting independence from Britain to each. The eastern part of Wagah is in India while the western half is in Pakistan.

Every evening there is a retreat ceremony called “lowering of the flags”. The ceremonial gates to each country are then closed. Over the last several years the aggression displayed at the ceremonies has been toned down. That said, please watch the video.
