THE stamps above were issued on 2nd October 2018 and these stamps are unique in their shape and denominations. First time in its history, India Post is releasing circular shaped stamps in miniature sheet format.Let’s have a look at the special Circular commemorating Gandhi’s 150th Birth Anniversary stamps.
The first stamp (image a) of INR 5 depicts a young portrait of M.K. Gandhi with the Satyagrahis gathering fora non-violent protest (Sabal) against the armed might of a British Raj force (Durbal).
This stamp bears the quote “Hinsa Durbal Ka Shastra Hai, Ahimsa Sabal Ka” (in Hindi) – “Violence is the weapon of the Weak, Non-violence is the weapon of the strong” (translation in English) with a Devanagari signature of Gandhiji.
