Rajiv Dixit (30 November 1967 – 30 November 2010) was an Indian conspiracy theorist. He promoted ayurveda and opposed allopathic medicine and opposed multi-national corporations.

He completed his elementary and middle school education in Firozabad. In 1994 he went to Prayagraj Allahabad for higher education, but became an activist before completing his education. His claimed academic credentials were found to be fraudulent. He was noted for spreading disinformation.

Career

Dixit founded the "Azadi Bachao Andolan" (Save Freedom Movement) in the early 1990s as a campaign to protect Indian industries, at a time when multi-national corporations were increasing their presence in India as a part of a trend towards globalisation. An aide to Ramdev, Dixit served as the national secretary of Ramdev's anti-corruption organisation Bharat Swabhiman Andolan.

During his career as an activist, Dixit demanded decentralisation of the Indian taxation system, stating that the existing system was the core reason for bureaucratic corruption. He claimed that 80 percent of tax revenue was used to pay the salaries of politicians and bureaucrats and compared the modern budget system of the Indian government to the earlier British budget system in India.

Death

Dixit died on 30 November 2010 in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh. After a lecture at Bemetra in Durg, he was accompanied by Daya Sagar, a local Bharat Swabhiman Andolan officer, while driving to Bhilai. During the trip he felt uncomfortable and sweated. At Daya Sagar's residence, he fell down in the bathroom. Initially he insisted on not going to the doctor. After a call from Baba Ramdev, he was first taken to Sector 9 Hospital in Bhilai and then transferred to the BSR Apollo Hospital. According to Dr. Dilip Ratnani, he died of a massive heart attack at night between 1 and 2 AM. On 1 December, his body was sent by air to Aligarh without an autopsy. His body was displayed at Patanjali Yogapita and later cremated with mukhagni lit by his brother Pradip Dixit and Baba Ramdev. Later the Prime Minister's Office ordered an investigation into his death in 2019.

There is a belief among his followers that he was poisoned to death because of his movement against multinational companies in India and other countries. Some of his supporters claimed foul play by Baba Ramdev, but Ramdev dismissed the claims.

Rajiv Bhai Dixit has saved many lives and has strong proof of curing many ailments including cancer, diabetes, high BP/High Cholestrol, Constipation, ENT problems etc. His lecture on the ifestyle changes if implemented well can help everyone to live life without medicine. There are hundreds of his disciples who have lived without medicine for deacdes. They can speak to any of the Rajiv Bhai Centre or Wardha to get the real picture. He was right in fighting against MNCs who were looting Bharat to taking money out of Bharat. Our Ayurveda must be given priority as primary treatment so that one does notfall sick.
