About this stamp

On the Stamp

A portrait of Shivprasad Gupta in spectacles, with a long white beard, between stripes of saffron and green, with his name in Hindi and English, on a 60 paise stamp.

Shivprasad Gupta

India Post issued this 60 paise stamp on 28 June 1988, the anniversary of his birth at Varanasi in 1883. Treasurer of the Congress from 1924 to 1931, he made his house, Seva Upvan, a shelter for freedom fighters, and the non-cooperation proposal was first discussed there by the Working Committee. He founded the Hindi daily Aj and the Kashi Vidyapeeth, which Gandhi inaugurated in 1921.
