About this stamp

On the Stamp

A portrait of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar in his spectacles, on the ₹2 definitive stamp.

The Definitive Stamp

This definitive stamp was printed by photogravure at India Security Press, Nashik, to a design by Sankha Samanta. It was issued on 1 March 2009 and shows B. R. Ambedkar (1891–1956), jurist, economist and social reformer, who chaired the committee that drafted the Constitution of India. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamps themselves.
