    A brave woman! I like how they frame her portrait on this stamp.

    My current event knowledge is lacking, I am not familiar with Sheikh Hasina. Now I am, and will be more so after I read more about her!

    I had no idea she survived so many assassination attempts. The text of the stamp that reads "74th Happy Birthday" made me smile.
