of historic items belonging to 51-year-old Musham Damodar Rao, a
businessman-turned epigraphist.
A visit to a philately exhibition 30
years ago aroused curiosity in Mr. Rao. Driven by the passion, he started
collecting stamps, and along with their accumulation, turned his attention to
coins, currency notes, documents and postal covers which were censored during
World War I before delivering to the addressee. The total number of stamps runs
into 50,000 to 60,000, including 3,000 of 100 princely States.
