India issues stamp commemorating Sri Lankan Buddhist revivalist
Speaking on the occasion, the Indian President said release of the commemorative postage stamp on Anagarika Dharmapala will contribute towards further strengthening the bilateral ties between India and Sri Lanka and bring the two nations closer. He said the relations between the two countries have withstood the test of time and socio-cultural exchanges for centuries have fostered further close cooperation in various fields. Both the countries have much to learn and imbibe from each other in order to resolve various issues which are the legacies of a protracted period of colonial rule.
"This stamp release on one
of the apostles of Buddhism, once again reminds us to work relentlessly and
collectively to ensure an era of peace, stability and friendly bilateral and
multilateral ties in order to create an enabling environment for the rapid socio-economic
development of the people," the Indian President said.
The President paid his humble
homage to Anagarika Dharmapala on the occasion and congratulated the Department
of Posts for bringing out the Commemorative Postage Stamp on Anagarika Dharmapala
who worked selflessly all his life with a missionary zeal to propagate Buddhist
ideals and to restore the glory of Buddhism. -Colombo Page.
