About this stamp

On the Stamp

Sheel Bhadra Yajee in old age, against strokes of saffron and green, on a ₹3 stamp.

Sheel Bhadra Yajee

India Post issued this ₹3 stamp on 28 January 2001. Sheel Bhadra Yajee (1906–1996) was an activist from Bihar who took part in both the non-violent and the armed sides of the Indian independence movement. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamps themselves.
