Scenes at Wagah Border

After the appearance of some soldiers, a man is seen dancing with a flag in his hand to the Wagah Border parade and that too on just one leg. Despite his disability, he willingly does it to show his excitement and joy.

A man with “Lahoris’ Shaan- Dhol” is also seen. He plays the rock drum beats to match his energy with the crowd. It is such a treat to the eyes and ears that the crowd can’t help but be entranced by the scene in front of them. Most men and kids start to dance to the “Dhol Beats”.

March of the Soldiers

A soldier comes down from a hidden stairway with a flag in his hand and starts to perform in the stadium, showing the spectators some tricks. He then proudly flaunts the flag and indirectly warns off the enemies. This is a subtle gesture to depict what he feels inside and what he might be willing to do for the country.

The soldiers then march with brilliant coordination. With vibrant energy emanating off of the Pakistani soldiers, they parade with such ostentatious valor and strength, that it gives you literal goose-bumps.
