Video of Indian and Pakistani solders dancing to Sidhu Moose Wala song at LOC
Indian and Pakistan have far more cultural as well as linguistic similarities than most people care to admit and nothing quite unites people across the borders like Punjabi music. A viral video that shows Indian and Pakistani soldiers dancing at the Line of Control (LOC) to Sidhu Moose Wala and Amrit Maan’s song ‘Bambiha Bole’, epitomises this camaraderie and mutual respect.
Special Commissioner of Police in Delhi, Hargobinder Singh Dhaliwal, (HGS Dhaliwal, as he is popularly known), posted the clip on Twitter Thursday.
It appears from the video that the Indian Army troops were playing the Punjabi song to blow off steam and dancing in their tin shed lookout when a Pakistani soldier on the other side of LOC waved at them.
Shortly after he shared it, the top cop was retweeted over a thousand times, with renowned peace and conflict researcher Ashok Swain chiming in with his take.
“Indian and Pakistani soldiers are dancing and waving at the Line of Control (LoC) with the Sidhu Moosewala’s song! Problem is not with the people, problem is with politics,” the UNESCO chair on International Water Cooperation said in a post.
Media reports have described the friendship between the artists, Sidhu Moose Wala and Amrit Maan, as a brotherly bond.
A beloved singer, Moose Wala was shot dead by assailants on May 29 in the Jawaharke village of Mansa district in Punjab.
He was travelling with two of his friends when they ambushed him a day after the Punjab government withdrew the security cover of over 400 VVIPs.
HGS, one of the investigator in the singer’s murder case, became the de facto face of police response against gangsters when he identified the shooters.
