The Description given on the Special Cover Back reads:

"Umaji Naik (07.09.1791 - 03.02.1832) was born in Bhivadi village in Purandhar Tehsil of Pune District of Maharashtra. A great revolutionary (Freedom Fighter), he battled against (the) East India Company and British Rule in India.

His father, Dadoji Khomane was Vatandar of Purandhar Fort. His family shouldered the responsibility of protection of Purandhar and Vajragad Forts. Hence, he was awarded the title of Naik".

More about Umaji Naik (Freedom Fighter):

 Umaji Naik (07.09.1791 –03.02.1832) was an Indian freedom fighter who fought against the East India Company Rule around 1826 to 1832.

 He belonged to the Ramoshi Tribe which migrated from Telangana and settled down in Maharashtra during the Maratha period. 

The Ramoshis used to work under the Marathas for surveillance of Maratha region and as gate guards for security of Maratha forts in Maharashtra during the Maratha period. 

They were also entrusted with night patrolling and policing by the Marathas. Because of this work they had the right to take taxes from few specific villages. 

However, after decline of the Maratha power by the British, this right got usurped by the British. The Ramoshis were left with no option but to start a struggle against the British East India Company (BEIC) to regain their right.

Umaji Naik raised a small army to fight against the British. His anti-British manifesto asked the countrymen to fight against the foreign rulers. 

In 1826, he declared himself a king.

 In 1831, he spread his command, with a proclamation to kill British infantry and cavalry and to loot their property.

He lived in mountains of Satara, Kurud, Khopoli, Khandala and Borghat etc. during his struggle against British Raj. 

He issued his stamp in which he wrote "Umajiraje Naik, Mukkam Dongar" (meaning "King Umaji, lives in the Mountains").

Naik attacked Jejuri's police headquarters and killed several policemen there. His army used to punish those Indians who were loyal to the British Raj. They also looted money of the British government and Sahukars to finance their armed conflict.

In 1828, the BEIC entered into a pact in which Umaji Naik was given 120 Bigha land and it was also agreed that government jobs will be given to the Ramoshi people. 

After this pact, the Ramoshis stopped war against British for some time. But the peace did not last long, as the BEIC reneged on the terms of the Treaty. Umaji Naik therefore, had no option but to resume the fight against the BEIC.

To capture Naik, British East India Company (BEIC) launched an operation to arrest Naik. A bounty of £1000 (India Rupees 10,000/-) was announced by the government for his arrest.

In 1831, he was betrayed by another Ramoshi named Nana Raghu Chavan which led to his arrest by the BEIC. 

A kangaroo court was held by the BEIC which in the case against him, held him guilty and he was martyred on 03.02.1834 in Pune.
