About this stamp
On the Stamp
A portrait of Rajiv Gandhi, on the ₹5 definitive stamp.
The Definitive Stamp
This definitive stamp was printed by photogravure at India Security Press, Nashik, to a design by Sankha Samanta. It was issued on 1 December 2008 and shows Rajiv Gandhi (1944–1991), Prime Minister of India from 1984 to 1989, who took office at forty, the youngest to hold it. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamps themselves.
