Patna: Christmas and New Year’s cards in 1930s had a different artistic appeal, but World War II that broke out in 1939 impacted the way people exchanged greetings in India during the holiday season.
World War II took place from September 1939 to September 1945, meaning six times, Christmas and New Year were celebrated under the shadow of the deadly warfare that altered the course of history.
A family, resident of the old Patna, has found in its archives some rare season’s greeting cards of that period.
