About this stamp

On the Stamp

The Tamil poet Subramania Bharati on the 50 paise definitive of the Creators of India series.

Creators of India

This definitive belongs to the series of portraits of the people who shaped modern India that India Post began in 2015, which catalogues call Creators of India. Subramania Bharati (1882โ€“1921), the poet known as Mahakavi Bharathi, wrote stirring patriotic songs and championed social reform and the emancipation of women. No India Post brochure is published for definitive stamps; this text draws on Wikipedia.
