Wagah, December 17
Minutes after the grand ceremony at the Wagah border, and I am left feeling distinctly uncomfortable. There are flags waving, photographs being taken against the divider gate and people muttering (really) "Jai Hindustan". It's a sort of self conscious nationalism (or jingoism?) played out amidst the pomp and grandeur of the sunset ceremony. The kind of thing that's expected to generate goosebumps in the respectable citizen.
