Stamps of India have been a reflection of our country’s image. Over the years, ever since independence, they have portrayed various subjects that have defined our nation. From culture and traditions to famous personalities, inventions, wildlife and more, through the study of Indian Stamps one can get a complete overview of the diversity of India. Every part of the country is unique on its own, but all these colourful aspects make one beautiful rainbow of Indian culture. The very first Stamps of India depicted the national flag, tricolour. It also featured the patriotic slogan “Jai Hind” and was valued at three and one-half annas. An array of beautiful stamps has been released by India post till date. Interesting issues include the four aromatic or scented Rare Indian Stamps. The latest of the three featured coffee and smells like freshly picked coffee beans. The other two has the scent of sandalwood, roses and Jasmine.
