What a pleasant surprise it would be if you receive an envelope
with a readymade stamp depicting the message of
Greetings! To be sure the receiver will get an extra measure of greetings from you! And
visually, too, the envelope will be fittingly garbed with the purpose. The receivers would surely welcome this extra care of yours. Postal
authorities of some countries have came forward in fulfilling this dream. For some years
now they have been issuing stamps depicting New Year’s festive message and its
associated themes. Japan, Taiwan and the USA are pioneers in this respect, with Japan
leading the way. These stamps would help convey many important messages to loved
ones and friends. Though there are several means of conveying greetings, the post remains
the most popular and predominant mode of transmission. In India, too, the British perhaps
started the practice of sending greetings by way of illustrated messages by post. It has
become now an established feature as in most other countries, We send greetings on
occasions like Deepawali, Pongal, Durga Puja, Baisakhi, Bihu, Christmas, Id and other
regional festivals. To strengthen the spirit of such greetings India also released two
stamps in 1990.
