Khagendra thapa magar of Nepal will be crowned new shortest person of the world very soon

Khagendra Thapa magar  (born October 14, 1992), son of Rup Bahadur and Dhana Maya Thapa Magar, will be crowned shortest teenager in the world, measuring 0.56 m (1 ft 10 in). Magar is expected to take the title of shortest man from Edward Nino Hernandez when he turns 18 in October 14, 2010.

Khagendra has become quite  a sensation in  Nepal and even India and even his country’s politicians are fighting to see him recognized as the world’s smallest man. He travels Nepal as part of a dancing group only to let people know he will soon be in the record books.

Otherwise a very healthy individual, Khagendra has a malfunctioning pituitary gland that caused him to grow very slowly. His parents admit they were ashamed to be seen with him in the beginning, but now they feel proud to be the parents of the shortest man in the world. Khagendra Thapa Magar measures just 22 inches.

Khagendra  doesn't go to school; he stopped going to school after his classmates
started pulling and pushing him around

 Khagendra was just appointed as a good will ambassador of Nepal tourism year along with miss Nepal Sadikshya shrestha.
