India/ Pakistan Border Crossing Ceremony
This ceremony brought tears to my eyes.. peace is felt everywhere in the air. The years of toil between muslims and hindus, Pakistanis and Indians has caused stress for so many.
The point of the ceremony is for the soldiers to cross the borders and shake hands, but the ceremony is so beautiful.
There were at least a thousand people that showed up, from young children to old soldiers. Some of the soldiers fought in wars, it is not hard to distinguish these people because they wear an entirely different expression on their face from many of the other people. It's a look of long awaited contentment and hope that they probably thought they would never experience.
People can live in peace with each other, if we try to respect each other. Religion and culture aside, we are all the same.
