১৯৪৯ চনত ভাৰতীয় বিপ্লৱী কমিউনিষ্ট পাৰ্টিৰ সংস্পৰ্শলৈ আহি পাছলৈ পাৰ্টিত যোগদান কৰি সক্ৰিয়ভাৱে কাম কৰিছিল। কিন্তু ঘৰৰ অৰ্থনৈতিক অৱস্থাৰ তাগিদাত পৰি তেওঁ ১৯৫১ চনত পশুপালন বিভাগৰ চাকৰিত যোগদান কৰে যদিও জাতিটোৰ প্ৰতি থকা দায়িত্ববোধৰ বাবে ১৯৫৩ চনত গাৰো পাহাৰ জিলাৰ তুৰাৰ পৰা চাকৰি ইস্তফা দি পুনৰ তিৱা জাতিক জাগ্ৰত কৰাৰ কামত ব্ৰতী হয়।

কাৰ্বি আংলং জিলাৰ তিৱাসকলৰ মাজত থকা অন্ধবিশ্বাসসমূহ আঁতৰাই শিক্ষাৰ পোহৰ বিলোৱাৰ লগতে তিৱা সমাজক আধুনিক সমাজৰ লগত পৰিচয় কৰি দিয়াৰ মানসেৰে অতি কষ্টেৰে ইন্দ্ৰচিং দেউৰীয়ে বিন মাছলাই, ৰবটচিং আমচি আৰু পদ্মনাত কাকতিকে আদি কৰি সচেতন ব্যক্তিসকলৰ সহযোগত ১৯৬০ চনত থাৰাখুঞ্জী গাঁৱত 'তিৱাচা মিচন' নামেৰে এক সামাজিক অনুষ্ঠানৰ জন্ম দিয়ে।

ইন্দ্ৰচিং দেউৰী ডাঙৰীয়াই তিৱা সাহিত্য সংস্কৃতিৰ-ভড়াঁলকো চহকী কৰি থৈ গৈছে।

ইন্দ্ৰচিং দেউৰী ডাঙৰীয়া তিৱা জাতীয় জীৱনৰ এজন কাণ্ডাৰী আছিল। তেওঁ একেধাৰে সংগঠক, সমাজ সচেতক, সমাজ সংস্কাৰক, লেখক, গীতিকাৰ, সুৰকাৰ আৰু বিচক্ষণ ৰাজনীতিক আছিল। সেইবাবে পাহাৰৰ তিৱাসকলে ইন্দ্ৰচিং দেউৰীক "ফা পৰৈ" (জাতিৰ পিতা) বুলি সম্বোধন কৰিছিল। তিৱা জাতি জীয়াই থকালৈকে ইন্দ্ৰচিং দেউৰী ডাঙৰীয়াও তিৱা জাতিৰ মাজত সদায় জীয়াই থাকিব। তেওঁ ১৯৯৪ চনৰ ২০ আগষ্ট তাৰিখে ইহলীয়া সম্বৰণ কৰে।
