Her most well known is the two-part anthology titled Women Writing In India, 600 B.C.[2] Her works are most well known for their critical viewpoint on the Indian women’s movement and cultural theory.[3] ActivismIn 1978 she helped to found Sthri Shakti Sangatana (SSS-Women Power Organization), an organization whose main focus was women. The group consisted of women active in the Maoist Party. Through this organization, Tharu helped to stop the vegetable export which affected housewives, vegetable vendors, and middle class women. The organization also has raised question about the Rape Law through a series of street performances and public campaigns.[4] Later, Tharu helped to found Anveshi Research Centre for Women’s Studies. The organization was founded after SSS, when the ambitions of that organization grew too large for her. The organization was grown from the members of SSS and many still retain membership in both.[4] The new organization, Anveshi, is based on research, critical reflection, and activism surrounding our current historical moment. The organization looks to explore feminist theory and ways of understanding issues in education, Dalits and minorities, development studies, health and healthcare systems, legal studies, and the public domain. The centre is located in Hyderabad, India.[2] Tharu has expressed that Anveshi is very interested in connecting feminist thinking and other thinking, as well as exploring why feminism does not easily invite Muslim or Dalit women. This organization also does a large number of translations of Women’s writing in India.[4] Honors and awards
