During his childhood, Bohra ran messages for Jai Narayan Vyas, a young freedom fighter and a future Chief Minister of Rajasthan, during the nascent Indian Independence movement.

It was during this time of great upheaval that he met and became an ally of Ms. Indira Gandhi, the daughter of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and the first woman Prime Minister of India.

He also had the opportunity to open a dialogue with Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, two of modern India's founding fathers and later home minister and president of the nation.

He was also the senior industrial engineer and project manager for India's delegation on Labor and Development to the United Nations, a position which took him as far afield as Gazientep, Turkey, Nairobi, Kenya, and Colombo, Sri Lanka from 1969 to 1982.

Bohra was one of the founder-promoters of the MBM Engineering College (established on 15 August 1951), the Birla Institute of Technology & Science in Pilani (BITS), and the Jai Narain Vyas Mahila (P.G.)

Bohra was the chairman of the Mahamana Malaviya Memorial Foundation, an organization committed to increasing the academic opportunities available to women in society.

As a devotee of Paramhans Shri 1008 Swami Hari Har Ji Maharaj, he co-founded Geeta Dham on 84 acres (340,000 m2) of land 40 km from Jodhpur which provides education to children, a home to the aged and a holistic approach to good health by the use of ancient doctrines of Ayurveda, Yoga and Meditation.
