About this stamp

On the Stamp

A parachutist descending under a canopy, with aircraft overhead and the logo of the Games.

The 4th CISM Military World Games

India Post issued three ₹5 stamps and a ₹15 miniature sheet on 14 October 2007, the opening day of the 4th CISM Military World Games, held at Hyderabad and Secunderabad, with some events in Mumbai, from 14 to 21 October. Nearly 5,000 athletes from 101 countries took part, under the motto “Friendship through Sport”. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamps themselves.
