In honour of wisdom

P. SOLOMON DHANARAJ


Commemorating the 50th anniversary of India’s Defence Services Staff College at Wellington, India Posts issued a stamp on April 16, 1998. The stamp features an owl perched on crossed swords and the motto “Yuddham Pragnya” (in Hindi) written on the ribbon band, meaning “To war with wisdom”. The owl, made of solid silver, was originally, brought from England and presented to the college in 1907, when it started in Quetta, now in Pakistan. After the partition, the college was shifted to Wellington in 1947.
