From Flying Kites To Flying High At Commonwealth Games -- The Achinta Sheuli Story
Deulpur, till Sunday midnight, was another nondescript village with a population of 12,000 people under Panchla sub-division of Howrah district in West Bengal. That is how Wikipedia describes the village in about three sentences. On Monday morning, the page had a sub-section added, 'Notable Personality' and that is Achinta Sheuli. Achinta had not only lifted 313 kilograms of weight but also lifted his village out of obscurity and invoked interest in people to know more about the 20-year-old, who came from a village, which is famous for Zari work.
