It's quite interesting. It's Gandhi's 140th Birth Anniversary. On 15-June-2007, United Nations decided that 2-Oct be observed as the International Day of Non-Violence.
It's not surprising to see postage stamps and special cancels and souvenir covers are issued.
1. India Issues a Special Definitive Postage Stamp. Rs 25.00 Denomination Stamp & Sheet of 70 Stamps
2. South India Philatelic Association (SIPA) has also issued a special Hologram Cover today on this occasion. It perhaps is the first Gandhi Hologram of it's kind.
3. United Nations issued a souvenir stamp of US$ 1.00 and souvenir card. Click here to order one from the United Nations Website for yourself. The description is below.
