Conflicting data

This article is missing its bio template, and the information in it differs from the article linked below, which reports that he was in jail for protesting colonial oppression when he began to take bodybuilding seriously. It also says he just turned 100. --Pawyilee (talk) 13:35, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Pint-sized former Mr. Universe turns 100 in India" (News & blogging). Asian Correspondent. Bristol, England: Hybrid News Limited. AP. March 18, 2012. KOLKATA, India (AP) — A former Mr. Universe who is one of the shortest winners of the body building contest has turned 100, saying Sunday that happiness and a life without tensions are the key to his longevity.

Aich born in Comilla district?

Aich was born in a place which is now a part of Comilla District in Bangladesh. In 1912, the year he was born, the present Comilla District did not exist. It along with the present Brahmanbaria District and Chandpur District constituted the undivided Tipperah District of Bengal Presidency in British India. The Tipperah District with headquarters at Comilla town was sometimes casually referred to as Comilla District, however the official name had all along been Tipperah. I am therefore proposing that the district of his birth should be corrected to Tipperah District. BengaliHindu (talk) 17:19, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
