About this stamp

On the Stamp

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose in his cap and uniform, printed in ochre brown, with his name in Hindi and English, on a ₹1 definitive.

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose

India Post issued this ₹1 definitive on 23 January 2001; Colnect records it as printed by photogravure at the Security Printing Press, Nashik, on paper watermarked with the Asokan Capital, one of its personality definitives of 2000–2001. Subhas Chandra Bose was an Indian anti-colonial nationalist whose defiance of British authority made him a hero to many Indians; the honorific Netaji, first given to him in 1942, is now used throughout India. No India Post brochure for this stamp is online, so this text draws on Wikipedia, Colnect and the stamp itself.
