Kabir

Stamp On Kabir This is the first of the four commemorative stamps in the saints and poets series issued by the Department of Posts. It is also the first stamp on the theme of music and dance. The stamp is in the denomination of 9p; of “bright emeral green” colour; watermark multi star. Perf. 14; and was issued on the 1st October 1952. It was printed in India Security Press Nasik. (More details in the next article). India has produced a galaxy of saints, seers, mystics and thinkers from ancient times. While we have preserved their philosophy and thoughts more or less intact, we have shown total indifference to recording accurate information about their personal lives; with the result, we do not have authentic information on the year or place of their birth, or how long they lived, or when they died!
