Stamp Information

:

Guru's wish to integrate his forces with those of the Rajputs and the Marathas and give decisive battle to the Mughals. It was at Nanded that the Guru passed away at the young age of forty-two after being stabbed with a dagger by a hireling of the Nawab of Sirhind. Despite his short span of life, he occupies outstanding position in the chequered history of our country nit only because of his military success but his work in social and ethical spheres. Latif the famous historian says of Guru Gobind Singh,? He was a law giver in the pulpit, a champion in the field, a king on his Musnad and a faquir in the society of the Khalsa." Dr. Gokul Chand Narang another historian has said,? Though he did not actually broken the shackles that bound his nation, he has set their souls free and filled their heart with a lofty longing for freedom and ascendancy. The Posts and telegraphs department is indeed proud to bring out a special stamp in honour of this great son of India on the 17th January, 1967, the occasion of his third birth centenary.
