INDIA issued on 26 January 1955 a stamp entitled "Woman Spinning" (Charkha) which was part of a Second Definitive Series postage stamp from India.
It was designed to promote India's Five Year Plan (1955–1960). The series focused on India's achievements in science, technology, agriculture, and socio-economic development following independence.
The woman using a charkha (spinning wheel) was a powerful nationalist symbol of self-reliance and the Khadi movement championed by Mahatma Gandh.
