Ceremony at India Border Ends Independence Day | VOA News

An illustrious show of strength marked an end to #India’s 76th Independence Day celebrations at the Attari-Wagah border in northern #Punjab state on Tuesday. A beating-retreat ceremony stole the show as security personnel from both India and #Pakistan boasted their marches, raising legs as high as they could go, as the audience thronged the border on both sides. India achieved independence from colonial rule on August 15, 1947, but was divided into two separate nations, India and Pakistan, after a bloody partition.
