Throughout her career and the founding of several women's activist organizations, Tharu has helped to highlight those issues in India.
Tharu as a writer earned her membership on the executive committee for Anveshi, an Indian research group dedicated to feminist-theory, where she also served as secretary.
She was employed since 1973, serving as an English Literature Teacher, a Professor of English Literature, and a Coordinator/Professor for the School of Critical Humanities.
She is currently Eminent Professor, Department of Cultural Studies.
Both her research and teaching focus on feminism, issues of minority, literary and visual arts, and social medicine.
In total, Tharu has published six books on these topics.
Her most well known work which she edited with K. Lalitha is the two-part anthology titled Women Writing In India, 600 B.C. Her works are most well known for their critical viewpoint on the Indian women's movement and cultural theory.
In 1978 she helped to found Sthri Shakti Sangatana (SSS-Women Power Organization), an organization whose main focus was women.

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.
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.
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.
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.

She has been a part of the Suabaltern Studies editorial since 1992.

She has taught in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi and in Kanpur.
Most recently, she and a few others, like K. Lalita, Rama Melkote, Uma Brughubanda and Dr. Veena Shatrugna founded Stree Shakti Sanghatana (SSS) and Anveshi, two women's activist groups.
