So here’s a wild idea. What if, instead of making new missiles and armaments, Pakistan and India could compete in an epic dance-off to settle all arguments? You must be thinking right now – what is this bonkers idea and why are we even talking about it? I did too, but apparently…. something of the sort did happen recently.
But before we get to that, we need to revisit what happens in Wagah Border year after year.
Pakistan and India have a tradition of one-upmanship that sees either side trying to outdo the other at the Wagah border crossing every day, every year. Its Pakistan Rangers vs Indian Border Security Force 24/7.
There’s bloated egos, unreal amounts of testosterone and just one long game of staring at each other (as could befit two rivals in the region). Oh and there’s a lot of flailing of legs from both sides as well (we’ll get back to this I promise).
Only this time, the other side (India) shook up things. Just a few days back, a Retired Air Marshal of Indian Airforce tweeted this video about the Indian side’s response on their Republic Day:

Unreal acrobatics? Check. Bollywood-style dance moves that could make Hrithik Roshan blush? Check. Charging up the crowd on both sides of the border? Double check.
The whole sequence involved Indian actor Varun Dhawan and his dance trope, who came prepared for the 28,000-strong crowd.
If the next pak-india war is a dance off we may be in trouble https://t.co/ZT6wt616Pr

It sure beats this (remember I said I’ll be coming back to this):
Your move Pakistan. Perhaps Fawad Khan can show those blokes we ain’t to be trifled with.
