  Scinde Dawk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Red Coloured Scinde Dawk is shown in the stamp.
The first stamps of India issued just before 1854 came to be known as “Scinde Dawks”, as they were issued in the Province of Sindh.
“Scinde” was how the British spelt the province of Sindh and “Dawk” is the anglicized spelling of the Hindustani word “Dak” or Post.

Since the 4th century, Scinde was under several rulers such as Alexander the Great, Chandragupta, Muhammad Khan, Akbar and Nadir Shah of Persia till the British came on the scene in the 1830s.
In 1850, Sir Bartle Frere became the Chief Commissioner of Scinde.
The Scinde Dawk stamps remained in use for almost two years from July 1, 1852, to September 30, 1854.

 Postage stamps and postal history of India - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The usage of the stamps began on 1 July 1852 in Scinde/Sindh district, with the use of an embossed pattern on paper or wax.
The shape was circular, with "SCINDE DISTRICT DAWK" around the rim, leading to the common name "Scinde Dawk".
The paper was either white or blue, and the wax version on red wax, but all had the same value of 1/2 anna.

In 1813 he served in a floating expedition, on the coast of the United States of North America; served also the campaign of 1815 and was present at the storming of Cambray.
Commanded the force employed in Scinde, and on 17th February, with only 2800 British troops, he attacked and defeated, after a desparate action of three hours duration, 22000 of the enemy strongly posted at Meeanee.
Early in 1815, with a force consisting of about 5000 men of all arms, he took the field against the mountain and desert tribes, situated at the right bank of the Indus to the North of Skihapore, and after an arduous campaign, he effected the total destruction of the hill robbers.

 First Issues Collectors Club of stamps and philatelic material
In 1851 the runners were replaced with an efficient system using horses and camels, following routes through Scinde province, generally along the valley of the Indus river.
One of the rarest classics of philately, the red ½ anna Scinde Dawk was issued first, on July 1, 1852.
This last version was issued shortly before the Scinde Dawks were withdrawn from use.

 INDIAN POSTAL SERVICES
The Scinde Dawk stamps were issued just 14 years after the first postage stamps were introduced in the world!
But, collectors are prepared to pay huge sums for these early stamps, as on international catalogues of philately, they are rated among the classic stamps of the world.
By contrast, the Scinde Dawk (the red stamp in the series) may exchange hands at prices as high as Rupees 2,00,000 (US $ 5,000).

The Scinde jam jar and the Cashmere compote are the only known examples of those forms in their patterns, which are among the most popular lines of early flow blue, and the Scinde platter is the only well-and-tree variety in that pattern in any size.
A Scinde pattern ten-paneled teapot with lid, the spout and finial restored, was bid to $600 but passed.

 Pikle - London Cross - 29 - The King's Avenue experience - Brixton Prison, Scinde House and the Territorial Army
Although there are almost no commercial premises along King's Avenue, it seems that some people have been doing good business selling cars - simply by parking them on the roadside with 'for sale' notices inside (although I personally don't see any).
It was named Scinde House (after a province of Pakistan now called Sindh in English) and belonged to Sir William Francis Napier for ten years until his death in 1860.
Napier is most famous for his book on the Peninsular War which attempted to explain and justify the way his brother Sir Charles Napier led a British attack on Scinde in 1843.

first attempt to settle Hawkes Bay was made in 1839 when Barney Rhodes established a trading station on the north side of what was then known as Scinde Island.
The first sale of town sections was made in 1855 but it was never intended that Napier should be anything other than a small village to service a few wharves over in the Inner Harbour.
Napier was named after Sir Charles Napier, the hero of the battle of Meeanee in the Indian province of Scinde.

The march was adopted in 1881 and the melody is that of the Jacobite song referring to the "Bonnie Prince Charlie" of 1745.
However, the Cheshire Regiment adopted the melody with a different "Charlie" in mind - General Sir Charles Napier commanded the Scinde Campaign in 1842-43 in which the Regiment took a major part.
Sir Charles shortly after the end of the campaign, became the Colonel of the Regiment, and as a lasting compliment, the Regiment adopted "Wha Wadna Fecht for Charlie".

Por eso, cuando finalmente consiguió tomar Scinde, Napier envió un mensaje tan lacónico que constaba de una sola palabra: "Peccavi!".
En latín peccavi significa "he pecado", lo que en inglés se formula "I have sinned", una frase casi homófona de "I have Scinde" (Ya tengo Scinde).
La diferencia fonética es tan leve que todos comprendieron de repente que la ciudad de Scinde había caído en poder de aquel sutil general que se disculpaba así de sus posibles errores: ofreciéndoles la victoria.
