SMALLEST MAN IN THE WORLD!

Chandra Bahadur Dangi 

 

(born on November 30, 1939) is the shortest man in history for whom there is irrefutable evidence, measuring 0.546 m (1 ft 9 1⁄2 in). Dangi is aprimordial dwarf. He broke the record of Gul Mohammed (1957-1997), the shortest adult human whose height was 0.57 m (1 ft 10 in). Chandra came to news highlights of local media when a wood contractor saw him in his village. All of his family members are of usual size.

 

He was awarded the title of shortest adult human ever recorded after his height was measured three times in 24 hours. He was subsequently enrolled in the Guiness World Record book.

 

Dangi lives with his nephews in a remote village of Nepal which is some 400 km away from the country's capital. He wishes to travel all parts of his country and the world. He stated that with him being the shortest man of the world and belonging to Nepal, he wants to popularize his village and his country through the medium of this title.

 

In 2012, he met the world’s shortest woman, Jyoti Amge of Nagpur, India. The pair posed together for the 57th edition of the Guinness World Records 2013. It is currently unknown what medical condition has restricted Dangi’s height.
