4. A Message from Former
President Dr. Kalam
During my tenure as President of India, it was my
privilege to travel the length and breadth of our
country, meeting people from every walk of life.
From all my interactions, the constant thought
which emerged was the pride of our country's rich
history and accomplishments, hope and
enthusiasm for a peaceful, prosperous, happy and
a safe future. Beneath the surface of every Indian,
a deep well of patriotism, with certain value
system, is embedded drawn from our civilisational
heritage. I am delighted to introduce to you,
friends, this collection of commemorative stamp
ingots entitled "Pride of India". Over the years, the
stamps issued by India Post have authentically
reflected our finest moments and rich culture. The
collection represents celebration of our freedom
movement, celebration of great minds, celebration
of our successes in science, technology, industry,
sports and celebration of our art and culture.
I am sure, you will find joy and inspiration in the
images reflected in the Pride of India Collection,
and pass on that spirit of resilience and endeavour
they represent to future generations.
