Bharatpur native creates record in miniature writing

Lt Col Hemendra Bansal, a serving Indian Army Officer, has created a record by writing 2,20,000 English letters on a standard size Indian postcard using the word “peace” 44,000 times. This has also been declared as a National Record and Limca Book of Records.

Professor Chu Bao Que, Deputy Secretary General of Policy and Development, Council of the Vietnam Federation of UNESCO Association, recently honoured him at a function organised by the India Book of Records. His achievement has also figured in the 100 Records of the Year category.

Lt Col Hemendra Bansal says, “The aim of making this record is to spread the message of peace across the world.”

The words written on the record-holding postcard are so small that an ordinary person requires at least a 50-time magnifying lens to read them. One cannot see these with naked eyes, however, Lt Col Bansal does not use any kind of magnifying lens, while making these miniature artworks. He says that this ability is a God’s gift to him, which has been converted into an art form.

Lt Col Bansal, who belongs to Bharatpur, is a miniature artist, motivational speaker and amateur photographer. He has been practicing miniature art for more than three decades and proudly holds two Limca Book of Records and five National Records in the same field.

He was conferred with an honourary doctorate by the World Records University, United Kingdom, and has also been awarded Meerut Ratan and many other national level awards.
