This is a beauty. On 21st November 1947 the Indian Post issued these stamps in the year of Independence. This was printed at the Nasik Security Press with lithographic method. These are rare.
This is the first stamp of Independent India. What is depicted on the stamp is the date of Indian Independence, the Indian Tricolor flag and the words "Jai Hind" meaning long live India. This stamp was used for foreign correspondence.

This is the second stamp of independent India. This stamp depicts the 3 lions sculpture of the Ashokan pillar which is the emblem of the government of India. This also depicts the date and the words "Jai Hind". This is a single color stamp color grayish green.
Congratulations on starting the blog! Would love to see your stamp collection some day...Abhilash shares your hobby too - but his collection is back home in Kerala..You'll should probably get together and swap a few ;-)
