He became its secretary and Krishna Kumar Mitra became its president.
He designed and unfurled the Calcutta Flag on August 7, 1906 in Parsi Bagan Square (Greer Park) in Calcutta, India. In 1908, he was arrested and sent to the Rawalpindi jail. Later, he worked as the editor of a magazine named Vyavsa O Vanijya.
