Away back in 1890 most of the people believed that it was not possible or even desirable. But, a small group of others and he persisted and the dream came true in 1911 when Bihar and Orissa came into existence as a separate province from Bengal at the famous Delhi Durbar. In his early years was a member of the Congress Party from the years 1899 till 1920 and even became its Secretary once.〔 He participated in the Home Rule League Movement.

He was Deputy President of the Assembly in 1921.〔 He also held the office of the President in the Bihar and Orissa Legislative Council.
