Laxman has served time in prisons in 19 criminal cases. But his brush with Gandhi's autobiography "My Experiments with Truth" changed his life. Under the Gandhian influence, Gole, confessed to all his crimes and was released after completing his sentence, in February, 2008. Since then he has been working in a bookstore dealing with Gandhian literature. Taking a cue from Gole, many prisoners decided to follow the Gandhian way and have sought his help.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
