India struggle for freedom series: Seven series of 44 stamps issued from 1983 to 1989. The stamps were designed within National Tricolor vertical border. I am missing quite a few stamps from my collection, including all of series 7 that I hope to complete over next few months.   |

I managed to make some progress when I visited the recent Stamp Exhibition/Fair organized by Philatelic Dealers Association of India in New Delhi. Now only four stamps are missing in the series.   |

Sorry to tell you this, Manish, but I cannot see the image in the latest post in the thread. I can see all of the images from 2016, but not this latest one.

Ok, trying to get these organized in an album. Different sources on the Internet provide varied information about this series on India's Struggle for Freedom. One source talks about the series starting in 1983 with the ambition of issuing 4-6 stamps each year until 1997, marking the 50th year of India's Independence. The Philacent India catalog lists seven series from 1983 to 1989 with 44 stamps as India's Struggle for Freedom series, with similar design of tricolor on the edges commemorating a freedom fighter personality. After 1989, there have been a few stamps with tricolor being used in the stamp sometimes on the edge, sometimes in another way, but none like the design of tricolor on both edges. Also the catalog doesn't list the other issues as part of the Struggle for Freedom series. The official India Post website run by the Department of Posts (Ministry of Communication, Govt. of India) lists only the first three stamps in the series as INDIA'S STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM. The other stamps are listed as commemorating specific personalities. For now, I am going with Philacent cataglogue of 44 stamps in the series issued over 7 years. Here are first few pages of the album I created.     |
