Guha spent most of his career wrestling internationally,[2] defeating champion wrestlers Wladek Zbyszko, Renato Gardini, Ad Santel, and Joe Stecher.

The Guha family had been known for pioneering, promoting and popularising the art of pehlwani and physical culture in Bengal, for generations.

He began rigorous training under famous Indian wrestlers like Kholsa Chaubey and Rahmani Pehlwan, who were employed by the Goho family.

During the trip he met Jack Johnson, the first black world heavyweight boxing champion at the wrestling tournament in Paris.

Both fighters had registered two falls each, when Lewis resorted to foul play by hitting Guha with a boxer's punch.

His achievements and success inspired Bengali Hindus to take up wrestling as a career which was seen as the traditional bastion of Muslims.

Not only wrestlers but the famous body builders like Manohar Aich and Monotosh Roy were inspired by his successes.

His statue was installed and unveiled at the Azad Hind Bagh in 1996 by the then Governor of West Bengal, Late Raghunath Reddy.
