Philatelic Society of India : ウィキペディア英語版 | Philatelic Society of India The Philatelic Society of India was formed in 1897〔(Distinguished Philatelists - Sir David Parkes Masson - The Greatest Indian Philatelist. ) Peshwar Stamp Society. Retrieved 13 August 2011.〕 by a group of, mainly, expatriate Englishmen resident in the country as the first all-India philatelic society. During its first fifty years the society included most of the important Anglo-Indian philatelists and had a particularly strong publications record with two award-winning books. The society meets every first and third Saturday at the Mumbai G.P.O., convened by Sri Dhirubhai Mehta, President, and Mrs D.M. Pittie, Hon. Secretary. ==History== The idea of an all-India philatelic society arose at the ''Philatelic Society of Bengal'' in 1896 and an open letter was published by Charles Stewart-Wilson in Calcutta calling for expressions of interest.〔"Proposed Philatelic Society of India" in ''The London Philatelist'', Vol. V, December 1896, No. 60, pp. 351-352.〕 The first meeting took place at 6 Middleton Row, Calcutta on 6 March 1897 where Charles Stewart-Wilson was appointed the first President and Lady Collen, Professor O.V. Muller and Major C.H.I. Hopkins were each appointed Vice-Presidents. The first Treasurer was Wilmot Corfield and the Secretary Mr. P. Aylwyn Selfe of the Bank of Bengal.〔"The Philatelic Society of India" in ''The London Philatelist'', Vol. VI, June 1897, No. 66, p. 174.〕 Most of the original members were Englishmen and the first Indian, Mr. C.K. Dutt of Calcutta, was not admitted until 1907.〔 In March 1957 an exhibition was held in Bombay to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of the society and in 1997 the Society celebrated its centenary with a display in Bombay titled ''Centipex '97'' at which a red Scinde Dawk and other rarities of Indian philately were exhibited.〔(Million rare stamps on display at Bombay philately show. ) Rediff On The Net, 1997. Retrieved 11 April 2012. (Archived here. )〕 India Post also issued two commemorative stamps to mark the centenary.〔(THE PHILATELIC SOCIETY OF INDIA. ) India Post. Retrieved 11 April 2012.
