Postal stamp in commemoration of 100 years of Sikhs in Uganda

Uganda has decided to release the postal stamp on the completion of 100 years of Sikhs in the country. The Uganda postal service ‘Posta Uganda’ has commemorated 100 years of Sikh presence in the country by issuing four postages. The four stamps depicted the religious sanctuaries ie; Gurudwara on Sikh Road, Kampala; the Khanda, the Nishan Sahib and the Golden Temple in Amritsar. This is the first time that a country has issued four triangular stamps in recognition of the contribution of the diaspora community in their own land. The stamps were released jointly by Posta Uganda and invited members of the Sikh community, with high court judge Lady Justice Catherine Bagumeriere as the chief guest. The confidence of Sikh community was also further boosted when Justice Anup Singh Choudry, a Ugandan born Sikh was appointed a High Court judge. There are around 12,000 people of Indian origin living in Ug
