The author of over 24 [[Hindi literature|novels, plays and political essays]], Rao, a graduate of [[Delhi University]], is also a sidewalk tea-seller in [[Delhi]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/nov/16/books.india|title=Writer, publisher and tea-seller caters to a readership thirsting for Hindi|date=16 November 2005}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/newdelhi/a-man-of-his-words/article1-833676.aspx |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2014-10-10 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141018082546/http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/newdelhi/a-man-of-his-words/article1-833676.aspx |archivedate=2014-10-18 }}</ref> Rao says that his books are based on ideas he gets while interacting with his customers and his writings revolve around their personal struggles. But, unlike Rao who is poor, most of the protagonists in his books are rich and well to do. Reviewers have said that his books "exude a rare sense of honesty and humility" and that his "writings are woven around ground realities of life".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://india.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/11/25/the-bard-of-the-tea-stall/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0|title = The Bard of the Tea Stall|date = 25 November 2013}}</ref> Rao is also known in Europe, where articles are written about him, e.g. in Germany.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.suedasienbuero.de/index.php/archiv/689-3-4-2014|title = 3-4/2014 - eine Begegnung mit Laxman Rao}}</ref><br />
