USA - 2010 - Mother Teresa Birth Cent Stamps on Cover.



United States Postal Service issued a commemorative Postage stamps on 5th September on Birth Centenary of Nobel Laurete Mother Teresa. United States joined s select few countries to have included Mother Teresa in their Stamp issue programme in 2010.

India Post did not find it fit to take the initiative and a issue a Commemorative Stamp on Mother Teresa on her Birth Centnary Year. It is India where the Mother spent majority of her life working for the downtrodden and destitutes. When one look at the stamp issue programme of India Post for 2010, it is full of lesser known personalites, particularly from one part of India but the authorities chose not to issue a commemorative stamp on Mother Teresa. Hats off to India Post and also Philatelic Advisory Cimmittee.
