She went into politics with the inspiration of Gopal Krishna Gokhale. She met him regularly who in turn introduced her to the other leaders of the Indian freedom movement. She was closely involved with the Indian National Congress in the freedom movement. After joining the Indian National Congress, she left her poetic aspirations for the sake of the country. She visited London to Round Table Conference as an Indian representative. In 1916, she met Jawaharlal Nehru, worked with him for disheartening conditions of the Indigo workers of Champaran in Bihar and fought with the British for their rights. She traveled all over India to deliver speeches on the welfare of youth, nationalism, the dignity of labor and women emancipation.
