Indian women officers to leads retreat cermony at Wagah border

Worst news ever, why?

Pakistan already inducted more women into many official institutions, why India follow us? chest thumping to Obama visit?
The BSF has wanted to do this for some time but the Rangers were unhappy and given this even is organised on mutual understanding nothing more was done but I guess the BSF have gone ahead anyway.
 
What nonsense is this ? I witnessed the Flag Lowering ceremony and the spectacle that goes with it only 2 weeks ago. Either I was hallucinating or the blokes on the Indian side of the border in their Khakis and their Crimson plumes were reciprocating every gesture that the Pakistan Rangers were engaging in !

Journalistic Ethics never came across as one of the strong points of Indian Media but outright Falsification is taking it too far !

No, we've toned down.India has been long complaining that this little tantrum comes at very high health costs- the hip joints get badly damaged (apaparently it' worse on the pak side since they show muh more aggressive stomping and threatening postures). India then decided to unilaterally tone it down a bit.

The BSF wanted to tone down the aggressive posturing this much is true, I guess the media has taken this news and come to false conclusions. Either way the Rangers wouldn't allow it.

So I guess I was hallucinating ! :(

Maybe there was a mirror on the Indian side on which everything that the Rangers did was reflected back ! :unsure:

How do we know the Rangers wouldn't allow it and even if they didn't did they ask the BSF guys to match their moves with ours or else ! :unsure:
 
March in retreat ceremony is top military responsibility?

maybe you missed tthat the lady that led Obama welcome ceremony is an IAF Wing Commander. It's not only in wagah that they're moving ahead, it Is everywhere. Besides it's well known that the ladies can finish off Pak on their own. the last one that did it was a woman called Indira Gandhi, and boy did she take you guys to the cleaners!

Aurton ke pichey keya zankhe hon ge? Shame shame we not fight this type of army:rofl:

Once there was an aurat called Indira Gandhi, and the IA acted on her orders. No mard on your side of the border could do much after that.

or else what? We'll just close the gates and go home. Wining this battle is not important.

It was reported on at the time, I remember watching a WSJ video report on the matter. And by the very nature of this ceremony it is coordinated between the BSF and Rangers so yes the BSF does need to match the moves of the Rangers otherwise the entire ceremony will be a waste of time.

Thats an extremely poor excuse and you know it; if the BSF actually thought that the ceremony was not worth it or was a waste of time they wouldn't engage in it. No one engages in a ceremony that they think is a waste of time simply because not engaging in it would make it a waste of time. The fact that they do and enthusiastically so is enough to shoot down such a hopeless excuse.

I have not in anyway said the BSF doesn't want to do the ceremony- they do. But they simply want(ed) to tone down the aggressive posturing.
 
Lol...neat trick to avoid aggressive gestures of Pak rangers! They can't be very aggressive to women, now can they? Ha ha ha....

Fair enough !

Though with the amount of colorful articles coming out of the Indian Media; I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the 'want to tone it down' story was without legs.
 

My God; had I not seen the ceremony a little over 2 weeks ago I might actually have believed this. Either I was imagining things or the Indian BSF had their fists clenched and were reciprocating each and every action that the Pakistani Rangers did - Two constables from Pakistan's sides and two from the Indian side going through the same steps; staring and snarling at each other with clenched fists and other such provocative gestures. Whatever 'tone down' the Indians did according to the BSF commander didn't seem anywhere in sight.
