World’s shortest man declared in Nepal

“I am good. I feel happy,” Mr Dangi said holding two framed
certificates . “I want to travel around the world and spread the name
of my country.”

Mr Dangi, whose parents died when he was still in his teens, lives with his
brother with, he said, no desire to marry.

His family has no idea when he stopped growing as many Nepali villages still
lack basic health care. Dangi has never seen a doctor in his life. Five of
his brothers and two sisters are of normal size.

Dangi mostly stays at home, needing assistance to move around, preparing head
straps used by villagers to carry loads.

Before Balawing, who was declared the shortest man in the world in June last
year, another Nepali man, Khagnedra Thapa Magar, who stood 26.4 inches tall,
held the title.
