About this stamp

On the Stamp

A painting of two women, one with a crown of flowers, on a ₹5 stamp.

International Women’s Day

India Post issued four stamps, two at ₹5 and two at ₹15, and a ₹40 miniature sheet on 8 March 2007, International Women’s Day. Kept every year on 8 March, the day marks women’s struggle for equality and their rights; it grew out of the labour movements of the early twentieth century. The four stamps are paintings of women. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamps themselves.
