What tradition friend? I know enough of traditions. Pakistan has been in existence for all of 63 years. How does a practice which is 63 years old become a tradition? Going by your logic, since our two nations have been at war four times so far and went to war almost immediately after partition, so that should be called a tradition. So why should we even talk of peace? Should we not remain perpetually at war? After all we have a tradition to uphold. Moreover, the entire aura of the Wagah ceremony is totally negative and downright immature. Whether or not foot stamping is injurious to health is really unimportant, if it is a negative, silly and unproductive tradition, it should be scrapped. Why should we protect and continue with traditions which do nothing but breed hatred and false bravado?
In the 63 years since our partition we have remained at war for a combined total of NOT MORE THAN 6 MONTHS of our nation's existence whereas this parade has been performed everyday since 1959.........That is why my friend, it is a tradition.........
