India 1948 Mahatma Gandhi 10 Rupees
India · 1948 · 10 R
This definitive stamp features a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, a key leader of India's independence movement. Issued shortly after his assassination, it is part of a set of four stamps that were the first to honor an Indian national. The high-value 10 Rupee denomination was intended for official government use, making it scarcer than the lower values.
Released on the first anniversary of India's independence, this stamp commemorates the life and legacy of Mahatma Gandhi, who was assassinated in January 1948. It marks a significant moment in the new nation's philatelic history.
