Feb 8th, 2010 by IndianStampGhar.com
India got its Independence on 15th august,1947.The postage stamp of free India was not issued on that day but to celebrate the independence,The DOP came out with a slogan “Jai Hind ” as a cancellation on the letters which were posted from few post offices.
This is the cover ,having the cancellation with “Jai Hind” inscribed in Hindi prominently in between the lines.This is a very unique and scare cancellation.Many postal historian would have seldom seen this.
