Buy the glorious past!

This Republic Day, it’s time to relive history. eBay India, India’s leading online marketplace, is celebrating this Republic Day with an ancient difference. One can log on to www.ebay.in and choose from rare stamps, notes, coins and first day covers that commemorate India’s first Republic Day in 1950. The historical stamps, coins and historical documents range from Rs.29 to Rs.5000. Igniting the passion of young and old Indians and Indiophiles across the world, this collection brings together like-minded people across all age groups and regions who wish to revel in the glory of Republic Day. Amongst other products that will take you back to circa 1950 are an Indian telegram from Calcutta to Dacca, East Pakistan (Bangladesh), that is dated April 6, 1950, as well as a Western India Life Insurance (Tripura India State) telegraphic money order with two 1950 stamps.

Meanwhile, Shemaroo Entertainment brings home a nationalistic feeling with the release of a compilation of songs titled Mera Bharat Mahaan in VCD and DVD format. The song tracks have been carefully selected from films over the last five decades ranging from films like Naya Daur, Leader, Prem Pujari, Karma to songs from recent movies like Pardes, Roja, Sarfarosh, Aa Ab Laut Chalen among many others.
