If so, it wasn't the first time it's happened. I'd offer a list of
Indian States that used water-soluble inks, but it would be rather
long ...

I kid you not.

Here is one example.

Aniline -- Ink with a coal-tar base. Such inks were
used in stamp printing to prevent erasure of
cancellations and reuse of stamps.

Aniline inks are very sensitive and may dissolve
in water or other liquids or chemicals.

Aniline Ink: A water-soluble ink with a dye base
that runs when wet.

Some of the first Australian commonwealth issue
(post 1918 Harrison printings) had deep analine
shades.

Aniline ink was cheaper and prevented reuse
of high value stamps. It also allowed for
much brighter shades of ink.

Thanks for the extras,
I was mainly interested in the Indian birds set.
so the reason was water soluble ink.
