PHONELESS POSTAL LIFE: The phoneless life was well maintained by the postal department in our society. India has the largest postal network in the world. From the mid of 20th century many Indians started settling in different parts of India for their job opportunities. The main source of communication was through letters written in inland letters and post cards.
