Description

75 Years of India Luxembourg Joint Issue Miniature Sheet

Established in 1948, the diplomatic relations between India and Luxembourg have blossomed into a strong and enduring friendship. As we commemorate 75 years of this remarkable bond in 2023, it’s a time to reflect on the shared history and values that have united our nations.

Amar Nath Sehgal, an acclaimed sculptor, serves as a poignant symbol of this lasting friendship. His sculptures, such as ‘The Friends’ and ‘Flute Player,’ beautifully embody the cultural and emotional connections between India and Luxembourg. Born in 1922, Sehgal’s life journey from pre-partition India to his artistic endeavors in Luxembourg is a testament to the deep-seated connections between our countries. His artistic legacy, spanning over six decades, is globally celebrated for its brilliance and cultural significance.

The joint issue of commemorative stamps by the Postal Departments of India and Luxembourg pays homage to Sehgal’s legacy and the enduring friendship shared by our nations. These stamps, featuring his iconic sculptures, serve as a reminder of the values of peace, tolerance, and non-violence epitomized by Mahatma Gandhi, depicted in one of Sehgal’s sculptures.

Sehgal’s art transcends borders, inspiring artists and art enthusiasts worldwide. His contributions to modern Indian art and his efforts to promote cultural exchange between India and Luxembourg are unparalleled.
