About this stamp

On the Stamp

Mahatma Gandhi on the 25 paise definitive of the Creators of India series.

Creators of India

This definitive belongs to the series of portraits of the people who shaped modern India that India Post began in 2015, which catalogues call Creators of India. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869–1948), the Father of the Nation, led India’s struggle for freedom through non-violent satyagraha. No India Post brochure is published for definitive stamps; this text draws on Wikipedia.
