Gandhi - Death Date Cancellations - 30th January

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was the preeminent leader of the Indian independence movement in British-ruled India. Employing nonviolent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahatma (Sanskrit: "high-souled", "venerable") applied to him first in 1914 in South Africa, is now used worldwide. He is also called Bapu (Gujarati: endearment for "father", "papa") in India.

Indians widely describe Gandhi as the father of the nation (Hindi: राष्ट्रपिता). The title "The Father of the Nation" for Gandhi is not an official title and has not been officially accorded by Government of India. Origin of this title is traced back to a radio address (on Singapore radio) on 6 Jul 1944 by Subhash Chandra Bose where Bose addressed Gandhi as "The Father of the Nation". On 28 Apr 1947, Sarojini Naidu during a conference also referred Gandhi as "Father of the Nation".

January 30 of the year 1948 was the saddest day for our country as Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on that day. To pay tribute to  Mahatma Gandhi this day is observed as Martyr's Day or Shaheed Divas in India.

Here an effort is made to give a historic touch of this date by presenting postal cancellations of 30th January, with a view to project the Death Date of a great  martyr of Indian Freedom Movement.
