Agartala, August 27, 2025: A five-year-old Ayan Debnath from Tripura’s Khowai district has etched his name in the International Book of Records. The prodigious child stunned all by flawlessly reciting the names of 195 countries along with their capitals in just 2 minutes and 53 seconds, earning him global recognition.
Ayan, aged 5 years and 8 months, is the son of Pranojit Debnath, a teacher, and Tanushree Debnath. He hails from Tanti Para under Purba Chebri Gram Panchayat in Khowai.
