The unanswered question is why do both countries go through this ritual? Is the closing handshake an empty gesture? or a
meaningful act of respect. ?


The attachment shows the nightly ceremony associated with the border closing between India and Pakistan .

We know there is no love lost between the two countries. The surprised is that they ever open the border in the first place.

Both countries have nukes, and both countries have come close to war a number of times.

The Wagah border is the only road linking India and Pakistan . And every night, the border is closed with this ceremony. Only 156 seconds long, it is one of the strangest things I've ever seen.
