Pangim (nowPanaji ), is on theMalabar coast of SW India, roughly midway betweenBombay andBangalore . Damao (now calledDaman ) is on the west coast, at the entrance to theGulf of Cambay , about 100 miles north of Bombay. Diu, which includes the towns of Diu andSimbor , is a small island(15 sq. miles) off the south coast ofKathiawar peninsula in western India.The first stamps were issued
