INDIA, 1981, Scott 947
Born in Barcelona, Spain, Henry Heras, after studies in Barcelona, entered the Jesuits in 1904, was ordained priest in 1920, and came to St. Xavier's College in Mumbai (Bombay), India in 1922. Four years later he founded what was in 1964 to be renamed in his honor the Heras Institute of Indian History and Culture, where he and others trained by him investigated Indian cultural history. The Indus Valley Seal on the stamp alludes to his work deciphering the Indus Valley script. He encouraged young artists, and urged them in particular to express Christian themes in Indian style. More
