Seems to be remnants of an old ceremony that has turned into a pep rally for awakening nationalistic feelings. I don't really know how and why they would have enacted this sort of ceremony at the very beginning.. "Ooh, lets have our border guards throw their thumbs at each other and huff puff their chests for fun". I'm guessing, it was bored border guards coming up with something to do when people/superiors came to see how their loyalty was standing up in front of Indian guards.

Funny nonetheless

"What's so funny? I am sure they think your culture is funny. " Oh, come on, grow a sense of humour. This isn't so much 'culture' as a created event that acts out past hostilities in a preposterous way. Don't get all PC just because their flouncing around looks silly. Thinking that you're not allowed to laugh at anything other than your own kind is really sad and limiting.

Looks like a bird mating ceremony to me.

I thought it was more interesting than funny. Would like to see how that ceremony evolved over the years.

I wonder if they consulted John Cleese for choreography?
