Gopinath Bardoloi
India Post issued this ₹1 stamp on 5 August 1991, the anniversary of his death in 1950 and in his centenary year. Gopinath Bordoloi, born on 6 June 1890 at Raha, was the first Chief Minister of Assam, from 1946 until his death. The Governor of Assam gave him the title “Lokpriya”, loved by all. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
