Cool!

I almost pulled a hammy just watching some of those high kicks.

And those are wool dress uniforms in the Punjabi heat.

So how does it look when they open the border?

I hope the high kicks don't hit any buttons....

Those " silly walks" were not invented by the British.
Despite their religious differences, both India and Pakistan share a common culture. The prancing around may seem silly to modern Western eyes, but it is an ancient tradition going back thousands of years, back to the days when Indians fought with spears, arrows and elephants.
Basically the high kicks and gyrations were performed by champions in between the battle lines before the slaughter started. Roughly translated, the gymnastics meant, " The gods favour us, and we are going to totally stomp your guts out and skull fuck your corpses."

re: the 'silly walk' comment in the video: In case you didn't recognize the narrator, that is Michael Palin of Monty Python. So the 'ministry of silly walks' was obviously a reference to the john cleese skit.

It's not species specific either. A lot of ceremonial "stuff" goes on before a fight between two males, or when claiming territory, or when about to mate.

Not surprisingly, these guys remind me of roosters, or peacocks, rather than ancient (or modern) warriors.

Oh course, not to be out done, we add our own twist to flamboyance.

Check out what happens on the Mexican-American border in Laredo.

The "abrazo", the symbolic fraternal embrace between the 2 nations (video in Spanish):


It's part of the big Washington's Birthday Celebration down there:

National Geographic did this bit about that:

Crazy elites, do some crazy shows and circuses. Of course, the people just eat a lot of "menudo" and jalapeños, and drink beer.

In all seriousness, I'm delighted to see Indians and Pakistanis competing on the basis of ceremonial puffery rather than shooting wars, of which they've had plenty.
