Nepalese man seeks Guinness record
Print Edition
An elderly Nepalese man who is just 41-centimeter tall is stepping up his campaign to be recognized as the world’s shortest person.
Master Nau, 73, who is confined to a wheelchair, recently flew from his remote village southwest of the capital Katmandu to press his request to be recognized in the Guinness World Records.
Wearing sunglasses and clutching his citizenship card, Nau was greeted at Katmandu airport by photographers and other members of the media.
Now back home in Bhairahawa village, where he lives with his youngest brother’s family, life has returned to normal.
“I am very happy,” Nau said yesterday.
Nau is staking his claim as the shortest person in an “immovable” category, which according to the Guinness World Records recognizes a person who cannot walk.
His rival, a man from Taiwan, who holds the current record in the category, stands at only 68 centimeters.
Officials from Guinness World Records have said Nau could qualify for the record, according to world record enthusiast Thaneshwar Guragain, who has taken up Nau’s claim and is corresponding with the organization.
Nau’s niece Seema Sheikh said he leads an active life.
“He is fond of traveling and likes to meet people and talk about life,” Sheikh said.
