India Post issued this 60 paise stamp on 26 February 1988, a hundred and one years after his birth in 1887. He joined the Indian Civil Service in 1909, and his award on the waters of the Indus became a classic on the sharing of rivers. In 1946 he became Constitutional Advisor to the Constituent Assembly and helped draft India’s Constitution.
