About the Book
In The Indian National Flag Through Philately, Sekhar Chakrabarti takes readers on a unique journey through India’s history, using the medium of philately to trace the evolution of the Indian national flag. This book offers an engaging and insightful exploration of how stamps have captured and conveyed the symbolism and significance of the flag throughout India's struggle for independence and its journey as a republic.

Chakrabarti brings together a vast collection of postage stamps, each telling a story of the flag’s representation and the different historical moments it symbolized. From pre-independence to the post-independence era, the flags depicted on these stamps reflect the changing national identity, political climate, and cultural shifts of India. This work not only highlights the significance of the flag but also reveals the profound impact of philately in documenting the country's milestones.

For collectors, historians, and anyone with an interest in India's national symbols, The Indian National Flag Through Philately offers a detailed and rich visual journey into the heart of India's past.
