Chandra Bahadur Dangi
(born on November 30, 1939) is the shortest man in the world, measuring
0.546 m (1 ft 9 in). Dangi is a primordial dwarf. He broke the record
of Gul Mohammed (1957-1997), the shortest adult human whose height was
0.5715 m (1 ft 11 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
measuring his height three times in 24 hours. The chief editor of
Guinness Book of World Records said that Chandra is the only person in
Guinness' 57 years history to record the title of the shortest man at
the age of 73. 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. 19 more images after the break...
