IMPORTANT ERROR IN THE FOLDER OF PRINCELY STATE STAMPS SET

There is an important error in the Folder of Stamp Set issued on Princely states issued on 6th October 2010. In the details of Holker State it has been mentioned that Rani Ahilyabai Holker was the daughter of Maharaja Malhar Rao Holker. It is not correct. Actually Rani Ahilyabai Holker was daughter of Mankoji Shinde and Maharaja Malhar Rao Holker was father-in-law of Ahilyabai Holker. This correct fact was printed in the folder of Ahilyabai Holker Stamp issued on 25th August 1996. This error was pointed out by a senior Philatelist of M.P. Mr. Sushil Parashar (Khandwa) in the news papers of Indore.
