A 72 year old Nepalese who made great pretensions to be the smallest man in the world was finally confirmed as a record breaker.

A doctor and Guinness World Records official headed to Nepal to measure Chandra Bahadur Dangi to confirm its size of 21.5 inches (54.6 centimeters) shorter than the length of a broadsheet, where they declared more short person in the world.

Sunday, Guinness Dangi presented with two certificates for the man of the world as short stay and the shortest person in the world ever recorded in the Guinness’ 57 year history.

Dangi lives in a remote mountain village in Nepal and now says he wants to travel the country and abroad.

It surpassed the previous shortest Balawing Junrey man of the Philippines, which is 23.5 inches (60 centimeters) high.

He won the title last year Khagendra Thapa Magar, 18, whose height is 26 inches tall.

Dangi, who wears a traditional hat and tailored clothing, was eager to receive the accolade after staying away from media spotlight all her life.

He said: “I feel good that I will be declared the smallest man in the world.”

Dangi claims he has never taken any medication or have been examined by a doctor.

He admits that he suffers from the cold strange, but revealed he has a home remedy, saying: “At these moments, I drink hot water and power turmeric dissolved in water. The fever lasts two to three days.

“I have not been sick probably because my body is good. ‘

Dangi, the seventh brother of a family of six brothers and two sisters, do not remember his father and mother, who died when he was 16. His older brother and immediate family took care of him.

Three of his five brothers were under four feet tall, while her two sisters and two brothers are of medium size.

Dangi only left his village, Reemkholi in Dang district, about 217 miles from Kathmandu, for the first time five years ago and this is his first visit to the Himalayan capital.

When asked why he did not stake a claim earlier to be declared the shortest man, he said his family was not aware of such a record, because they are uneducated.

Dangi spends his days are placemats and headbands for the villagers to carry heavy loads on their backs.

His nephew, Dolak Dangi, said: “It would also take care of buffaloes and cows.

“Although he could not chase them or tie them – we call it if they lost.

Dangi hopes to use his fame found to travel, admitting: “I think things will get better now. I hope I will be famous worldwide.

“I want to visit foreign countries and meet people from around the world.”

The cause of Mr. Dangi height problem was not diagnosed, but it is suspected that he suffers from primordial dwarfism, which begins in the womb.
