His life's journey touches on a variety of important social issues, including rural growth, cleanliness, the RTI Act, system accountability, and the fight against corruption, among others. At the end of his life, he goes on a national hunger strike, which forces the government to offer LOKPAL, a crucial law to combat the country's massive corruption.
