About this stamp

On the Stamp

The flags of the seven member countries, with the words “South Asian Regional Co-operation” in Hindi and English, on a ₹3 stamp.

Seven Flags

India Post issued two stamps on 8 December 1985, ₹1 and ₹3, on the day the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation was founded at Dhaka by Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The association rests on the principles of sovereign equality, territorial integrity, political independence and non-interference in the affairs of others. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
