About this stamp

Rajguru

India Post issued this ₹5 stamp on 22 March 2013, the eve of the anniversary of his execution, for the revolutionary Shivram Hari Rajguru (1908–1931). Born at Khed near Pune on 24 August 1908, he joined the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association and took part in the killing of the British police officer John Saunders at Lahore in 1928. He was hanged by the British on 23 March 1931 with Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev.

India Post has no brochure for this issue online, so this text draws on Wikipedia.
