New Website on Gandhi Philately

A Tribute to Mahatma Gandhi : www.gandhiworld.in 

 

M L Rajesh from Tiruvallur district,Tamil Nadu writes…

On 01/10/11 I have hosted a website which displays my exclusive Gandhiji's collections.This bilingual (both Tamil & English) website was inaugurated by Mr.V.Kalyanam who was then Gandhiji's personal secretary. This website contains Gandhiji's memorabilia such as Stamps, coins, currencies, tokens, telephone cards, post cards, special covers, statues and a few rare photo graphs too. Since more than 120 countries have honored Gandhiji by issuing stamps. Personally I believe that today's younger generation who surfs through this site would be really attracted towards Gandhiji and his principles. My dream of spreading Gandhian principle across the globe has resulted in www.gandhiworld.in .
