In addition to his state records, Biswas has also set two world records. He has set the world record for a category, ‘newest invention’ for picture poetry and multi-language poetry.
These two records were awarded to him by Kalam’s books of records which “documents unique talented individuals or groups from different countries and sets a benchmark for achievements in every field of accomplishment.”
“All my records are on poetry and based on women, their life and pain,” said Biswas, explaining that this is an outlet for his creativity and he is humbled to receive these awards.
