French anarchists, along with Chatto, in the early 1920s, and insisted including anarcho-syndicalists at the Congresses of the Communist International. In 1923, he began including Anarchist works in the mails sent to those in India who were in the cominterns mailing list. He was contributing at this time to the Russian Anarchist publication Rabochii Put, and the Indian activist Indulal Yagnik notes having met Acharya in Amsterdam in 1931 working with the school of Anarchist-Syndicalism. His writings focused on developing Anarchism within India, and his work delved into analysing anarchism from Indian point of view. Acharya's thoughts, published in his essays, also reflected on the Indian independence movement, focusing on Gandhi and the Indian National Congress. Contrasted to the revolutionary nationalism of his days in London, his political and personal thoughts through this time led to him being considered a "Anarchist pacifist", and he considered himself a "logical pacifist". Acharya criticised the methods of Gandhi, despite holding a lot of respect for. Acharya found it difficult to reconcile Gandhi's opposition to mass violence, when contrasted to Gandhi's lack of criticism of violence perpetrated by those in government or positions of authority. Gandhi's political tactics, embodied in civil disobedience movements like the Dandi march, was seen by Acharya as embodiment of anarchist tactics, though Acharya refused to consider himself a follower of Gandhi. Academic and historian Ole Birk Lausen consider Acharya's work and published thoughts through this time to reflect not only on Indian independence, but also on improving the life of common people in India. His writings in post-independence India criticized senior politicians in Nehru government for occupying the role of recently departed colonial authorities, and argued for a strong anarchist movement as a force to balance the social and political structure of India against what he described as the "country going to the Fascists and the dogs". In post-independence India, Acharya supported a society of free socialist labor, and criticized Nehru and his government for allowing foreign capitalist investment.
