A portrait of Kamala Nehru, on a 25 paise stamp.
Kamala Nehru
India Post issued this stamp on 1 August 1974, the 75th anniversary of the birth of Kamala Nehru. Married to Jawaharlal Nehru in 1916, she joined the freedom movement despite poor health: in the Civil Disobedience campaign of 1930 she picketed foreign cloth and liquor shops in Allahabad, led processions and addressed meetings, and on 1 January 1931 she was arrested. She ran a hospital at Swaraj Bhawan for the poor. She died on 28 February 1936. Gandhi said he had not known a truer, braver or more God-fearing woman. This text draws on India Post’s folder for the issue.
