India is getting ready for a big census. A census counts all the people in a country. Long ago, India used stamps and postcards to tell people about the census.
After 1947, India needed to count its people. The post office helped with this work. Postmen brought letters to villages. The letters had special stamps about the census.
The stamps showed families and messages. They asked people to be counted. Today, India will use phones and apps for the census. But the idea is the same: count everyone in the nation.
