Channan Singh - Sikhs The Supreme

Born in 1925 in a village Jhatowali. Distt. Jalandhar. a former draftsman of Survey of India. Dehradun, S. Channan Singh IS really a matchless miniature Artist in the world, who has broken all world records and Guinness Book records in subtle art. The Canadian Artist Gerard Legare entered in Guinness Book of World Records by drawing a shortest picture on the pinhead of 8 mm diameter. S. Channan Singh broke this record by drawing four pictures in the same diameter. The record of Dutch artist Gurt Twite entered in Guinness Book of World Records in 1980 for drawing a picture named "My small country Holland", in an area of .1819 mm, was broken by S. Channan Singh by drawing a picture of Golden Temple in an area of .0077 mm on a hair which was shorter by 2.347 times. He drew the map of the USA on the thickness of a hair in sky color. He further broke the record of an American Artist of writing full Lord's Prayer of 277 words in one mm space, by writing this full prayer in only .66 mm space. In 1974, he The Mighty Sikhs / 236 created a record by writing 4052 letters on a grain of rice and 1245 letters on a grain of mole.

His superhit creation is a picture in 1 mm space containing Tri-color and eight famous monuments of India e.g. Golden Temple, Kutub Minar etc. As per Canadian Journalist Donald Grant, this picture was four times smaller than the record picture of 1977. He drew a globe on a pinhead displaying 25 countries in different colours with their names. In 1961 Queen Elizabeth visited India and gladly accepted her own picture drawn by S. Channan Singh on a grain of rice, by breaking her own tradition of not accepting any gift from any individual.

There is a long list of such superb achievements of this great genius, who did not receive due recognition from his own countrymen. He resigned from Survey of India and left India on May 31, 1981 due to apathetic attitude of the nation, whereas he got a lot of respect, praise and appreciation in Western Countries.
