As sunset approaches, uniformed guards perform synchronised high-stepping drills before the national flags are carefully lowered. Woven into our Punjab tours India, the ceremony offers a fascinating encounter with patriotism, rivalry, military tradition and the complex relationship between neighbouring nations.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"btn btn-outline-primary btn-show-read-more\" href=\"#read-more\" role=\"button\"> Read More <\/a>\r\n\t<div class=\"collapse collapse-read-more\" id=\"collapse_rm\">\r\n\t\r\n\r\nMore than spectacle, Wagah provides a thought-provoking contrast to Amritsar\u2019s spiritual and historical experiences, bringing another dimension to understanding Punjab.
