Hi Ashwin:
So it is completely incorrect to add any images
of Indian stamps printed
later than 1951 to Commons. Fair use rationale is not applicable under
Indian law to the best of my knowledge, anyway with that it cant be loaded
to Commons only concerned Wikipedia. And unless the article is about that
particular stamp, fair use rationale won't work.
I am not sure why you would say that. The Copyright Act has a fairly
extensive section on Fair Dealing. Section 52 will be of interest.

You might find that it would fit within a few of those.
