Early life
Rajiv Dixit was born in Allahabad. He had an M.Tech degree.
Activities

He claimed that 80 per cent of tax revenue was used to pay politicians and bureaucrats. He compared the budget system of the Indian government to the earlier British budget system in India, presenting statistics which he claimed showed that they were the same.
