"AMRITPEX 2023", (the "National Philately Exhibition") was primarily a forum to introduce and cultivate a whole new generation of Indians to philately as an exciting and rewarding hobby which takes one into history, culture, art, and heritage across the years through stamps and pictural collections. One gets fascinated by philatelic terms like "tete-beche" (upside down printing), "Maximum Cards" (in which the photo, the stamp and the cancellation are all on the same side) et al.

The art of collecting stamps, philately, is more than a hobby. Philately increased our knowledge of history, culture, art and nature and is a lifestyle choice that can help us connect and ground ourselves.

In the present day, when Internet and mobile phones are the norm, philately too has maintained/increased its following of enthusiastic stamp collectors. 

Online philatelic marketplaces have come up across India and across the world. 

- There were more than 1400 frames and digital exhibits on display in a floor area of 50,000 sq ft, and over 40 booths of philatelic items on sale. 

- There was also a competitive section, where the winners will get an opportunity to participate in various international philatelic exhibitions.

- The exhibition included digital exhibits and interactive activities for all ages, particularly children and the teenagers. 

- To increase footfall and make it more convenient, remote registration for participants and sellers to the exhibition was undertaken. An interactive website for the exhibition was also set up for digitally equipped enthusiasts.

- AMRITPEX-2023 offered several other attractions, including - "Wall of Philately", "Mascot – VR Rooms", and "Digital Charkha". "Digital Kiosks", "digital postcard", "quiz" and "design", all of which were a great attraction. 

- There were takeaways for children visiting the exhibitions. 

- Some other highlights included "release videos for stamps and special covers", "Drone Activities", "Selfie Points", "Live Painting by Artists and Painters", "Special Covers with VR", "Curated and Guided Tours", "Magnifying Glasses to magnify small stamps", "Philately Movies on Digital Screen", and "Time Capsule" et al.

On 14.02.2023 a Special Cover was released by the Delhi Postal Circle of India Post, on "GOVIND GURU":

Govindgiri, (also known as "Govind Guru Banjara" - 1858–1931) was a social and religious reformer in the early 1900s in the tribal border areas of present-day Rajasthan and Gujarat states in India. He popularised the "Bhagat Movement", which was first started in the 18th century.

Govindgiri was born in a Banjara family in the village of Bansiya in Dungarpur State (now in Rajasthan). 

After a primary education with the help of a "pujari" ("priest") in his village, he became a "hali" (a worker "not employed at their own convenience but maintained as permanent estate servants, and not regarded to be in a position to resign services)."

 His wife and child passed away in the famine of 1900, after which he moved into the neighbouring Sunth State. 

There, Govindgiri married his brother's widow and, soon after, became the disciple of a Hindu monk ("gosain") - Rajgiri. "Vinda" (his childhood name) was changed into Govindgiri during this period.

 Around 1909 he returned to Dungarpur State with his wife and children, to the village of Vedsa.

Social and religious activities:

Govindgiri engaged himself in "improving the moral character, habits, and religious practices" of the tribals.

 He organised the "Sampa Sabha", with the intention of serving the tribal people.

He preached monotheism, observance of temperance, forsaking crimes, following agriculture, giving up beliefs in superstition, et al.

 He called upon tribals to adopt the manner of the upper castes and "to behave like sahukars" (moneylenders)

Drawing on the ritual practices of the Shaivite sect Dashanami Panth, Govindgiri encouraged his followers to tend a "dhuni" (fire pit) and hoist a "nishan" (flag) outside their houses.

On the matter of women's rights, Govindgiri critiqued the upper-caste treatment of women and argued that tribal practices were much better for women. 

He declared Rajputs and Brahmins to be inferior in this respect because they degraded women, citing the Rajput custom of female infanticide and the Rajput and Brahmin prohibition against widow remarriage.

Govindgiri's teachings were originally aimed at social and religious reform but he gradually "developed a strong critique of hierarchy and exploitation" of the tribals by ruling classes

He advised the tribals that their destitution was caused by princely rulers and jagirdars ("landed gentry"). He preached that "Bhils" ("tribals") were the rightful owners of the land and they also the right to rule over it.

He envisioned the establishment of a "Bhil Raj" (Bhil State) in the hills of Sunth and Banswara states, restoring a Bhil kingdom that existed eight hundred years back.

Within a short time, Govindgiri garnered a large following among the tribals in the states of Sunth, Banswara, Dungarpur and the British districts of Panch Mahals.

He faced active opposition from the rulers of the states in which he preached, for his teachings brought about decreased revenues from liquor sales (because of Govindgiri forbidding liquor to his disciples) and the subversion of the ruler's authority because of Govindgiri's growing influence.

Govindgiri's activities after 1907 were opposed by the state officials and liquor contractors, and the Dungarpur State arrested him in 1912.

The state accused him of deceiving his followers, confiscated his savings and pressured him to stop his movement by imprisoning his wife and child (or children). However, he was released in 04/1913 without being tried and ordered to leave Dungarpur State.

After an attempt by the ruler of Idar State to capture Govindgiri while he was in the Idar territory, Govindgiri and his adherents formed a defensive position at Mangadh, a hillock on the borders of the former states of Banswara and Sunth State.

On 31.10.1913, Govindgiri followers captured a couple of police personnel of the Sunth State who were sent up the hill for reconnaissance.

On 01.11.1913, the followers attempted an unsuccessful attack on the Parbatgadh fort in Sunth State and looted the village of Brahm in Banswara state.

Apprehending danger, local rulers sought British Raj assistance, and Mangadh was besieged by a combined force consisting of British Indian Army, including the Mewar Bhil Corps and soldiers from the states of Banswara, Dungarpur, Sunth and Baria.

On 17.11.1913, the force attacked Mangarh, an action in which "several Bhils died and Govindgiri and his lieutenant Dhirji Punja Pargi were captured" and sentenced to be hanged. 

Their sentences were later changed to life imprisonment for Govindgiri, while Pargi was sent to the Andaman and Nicobar Cellular jail where he passed away in prison after some years.

Govindgiri did not serve the entire terms of life imprisonment,but was released from prison in Hyderabad in 1919 on condition he would not participate in political activities. He was also prohibited from entering several princely states.

Until he passed away on 30.10.1931, he lived in Kamboi near Limbdi in present-day Panchmahal district of Gujarat.

Memorials:

- Govind Guru Samadhi Mandir, a memorial shrine at Kamboi, is visited by his followers even today.

- Govind Guru Smriti Van, a botanical garden named after him, was opened by the Government of Gujarat on 31.07.2012

His grandson Man Singh was felicitated by the then Chief Minister of Gujarat Narendra Modi in presence of more than 80,000 tribals.

Shri Govind Guru University in Godhra, established in 2015, and Govind Guru Tribal University (established in 2012, in Banswara are named after him).
