About this stamp

On the Stamp

A. B. Walawalkar in a dark cap, beside a map of India’s west coast, with his name in Hindi and English, on a ₹3 stamp.

A. B. Walawalkar

India Post issued this ₹3 stamp on 9 October 1999 for A. B. Walawalkar (1897–1970); it is one of four stamps issued that day for men India Post’s list groups as India’s March Towards Progress and Development: T. M. A. Pai, A. D. Shroff, A. B. Walawalkar and Chhaganlal Karamshi Parekh. Colnect describes him as a railway engineer, and records the stamp as printed by photogravure at the Security Printing Press, Nashik, to a design by A. Mithbarkar. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online and Wikipedia has no page on him, so this text keeps to the stamp and to Colnect’s catalogue.
