Talk:Wagah

message: I really hope someone adds to this I've seen this on various shows like Michael Palin's 'Himalaya' as well as elsewhere. It is one of the most fascinating things I've ever seen. The pomp and symbolism of beating the retreat is really powerful. I added that Wagah is pretty much inbetween Lahore and Amritsar, though I'm not sure 'Indo-Pak' is desirable for an Encyclopædia it was redundant to say India and Pakistan twice. I also added the Hindi and Urdu, looking them up in BBC:Urdu and BBC:Hindi, so I'm not 100% sure they are correct - especially as they don't correspond. I'm thinking واگهه makes more sense. In any case the Gurmukhi is also in order, ਵਾਘਾ, ਵਾਹਗਹ, ਵਾਘਹ, etc? I also added the link to the pictures of Pakistani Rangers. I wish an Indian or Pakistani near Wagah would take a day trip there and take some pictures to put up here!  Khiradtalk 04:51, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Is Wagah really the *only* road from Pakistan to India? Looking at googlemaps I see others, e.g. the Kasur-Ganda-Singh border crossing. Just because the BBC said in an article that Wagah is the only one does not make this true. Can someone who is familiar with the situation please confirm or disconfirm this?

message: The article states that in Pakistan the village is named Wahga. Seeing as this is a modern village in Pakistan, according to the article, shouldn't the article be named Wahga with it taking a dominant role in the article over Wagah? If not could someone clarify what the statement "Wagah, named Wahga in Pakistan" means?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:9602:6800:446E:7765:2E15:18C9 (talk) 00:05, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

message: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagah states that Wagah is in Pakistan, not in India. This is false since according to Google Maps (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Wagah/@31.604757,74.5719473,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x391912bcf27f495d:0x325315a52b19a1a9!8m2!3d31.604757!4d74.574136), Wagah is in India and Pakistan.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.148.220.33 (talk) 14:14, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the village straddles the border, but I agree that most of it seems to be in Pakistan according to the map. I've reverted the recent edits assigning the village to India because the claim is not supported by the reference.  Dbfirs 15:22, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

text: If you let Google Maps show local government boundaries, it appears to show that the Wagah border gate (Indian side) is actually in the village of Hardo Rattan. This perhaps suggests that the development on the Indian side is more recent, serving tourists and visitors, and has been built on land already part of an older village, rather than being a part of a place called Wagah which predated partition. I find it hard to think that the border line at partition would have been drawn through a village, rather than following the older borders between villages.[] Wymspen (talk) 11:43, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
