Mani Manithan took on the challenge  in 1989 in a bid to stop world violence after some violent acts in his country, India.He had vowed to keep walking backwards to achieve world peace.




According to him, he is now used to walking in reverse and it doesn't affect him.He climbs stair, crosses the road backwards. Mani, who runs a mobile phone shop now revealed he has forgotten how to walk forwards.He told AFP
'Walking normally is more of a challenge - my mind has forgotten how to do it. I have become very comfortable walking like this.My life has been full of struggles, sacrifice, achievements and protest so I have no issue continuing my backwards walking until we achieve world peace.'You can see on an international scale terrorism has increased. There are so many blasts and the youth are misguided.To condemn such incidents I have been walking backwards for 25 years.
