From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Khagendra Thapa Magar (born 1992), son of father Rup Bahadur and mother Dhana Maya, is reported to be the shortest man in the world, measuring 20 inches (51 cm) at age 14. Magar came from the Baglung District of Nepal and is dubbed as a "little Buddha" by the villagers. Just 600 g (1lb 5 oz) at birth, Khagendra now is only about 4.5 kg (10 lb).
