About this stamp

On the Stamp

A portrait of Sardar A. Vedaratnam, printed in slate purple, with his name in Hindi and English, on a ₹2 stamp.

Sardar A. Vedaratnam

India Post issued this ₹2 stamp on 25 February 1998 for the birth centenary of Sardar A. Vedaratnam (1897–1961). Colnect describes him as a social reformer, and records the stamp as printed by photogravure at the Security Printing Press, Nashik. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online and Wikipedia has no page on him, so this text keeps to the stamp and to Colnect’s catalogue.
