About this stamp

On the Stamp

Gandhi in profile, in his spectacles, against a pale sky, with a green stroke of the flag at the edge.

Mahatma Gandhi: Man of the Millennium

India Post issued two ₹4 stamps, printed together as a se-tenant pair, on 2 October 2001, under the title “Mahatma Gandhi: Man of the Millennium”. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist and political ethicist who used non-violent resistance to lead the campaign for India’s independence from British rule. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamps themselves.
