Each stamp is a story-teller of its own! Epic!
Some feelings can simply not be put in words; proud!

It would be very encouraging to see any postage stamps with some hallmarks of the minorities. Perhaps, the stamp should bear the pictures of minority leaders who were patriotic.

After partition the post office used to issue British era stamps with name of Pakistan printed on them.
Those were the first stamps issued by our post offices.

I noticed one thing, IK is on one of them. Where are those so called heros like NS, SS, ZAB, BB, AZ, AB who took from Pakistan and gave nothing back. Being on the national stamp is the biggest honor one can have, and it comes from the blessings of God the almighty. Those were the days my friends. Readers please don't take this as a political statement.

One of the stamps says - Jammu & Kashmir "Final status not determined". But shows both Nepal and Bhutan as part of India.
