When the
sun decides to say goodbye to a peaceful day its time For the reunion,
which transcends the boundaries, that man has laid. From Amritsar
35 Km on the road to Lahore(Pakistan), is India-Pakistan border,which
is also known as "Attari(India)-"Wagah" (Pakistan)
border.
A visit
to the border is an interesting experience, especially at sun-set,
when the retreat ceremony takes place with the Border Security Force
(B.S.F.) on the Indian side and The Sutlej Rangers on the Pakistan
side putting up a well co-ordinated and spectacular display which
compares very favorably with the changing of royal guard in London.
The sound from the bugles
blown together from both sides paints past on the canvas when India
and Pakistan were one, simultaneously Flags of the two nations are
ceremoniously retrieved and lights are switched on marking the end
of the day amidst thunderous applause. Today this point is only land
route to approach Pakistan and central Asia.
