Rajiv Dixit (1967—2010) was an Indian social activist who launched a movement in the early 1990s as a campaign to protect Indian industries. An aide to Ramdev, he also served as the national secretary to Ramdev's anti-corruption organisation, Bharat Swabhiman Andolan. He has also been noted to be a fraud and a conspiracy theorist.
Early life
Rajiv Dixit was born in Allahabad.
He claims to have an M.Tech degree from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, a premier institute. Independent investigations and IITK have since documented this claim to be false.
Activities
Dixit founded the Azadi Bachao Andolan (Save Freedom Movement) and was a campaigner for the protection of Indian industries from the 1990s when multi-national corporations were increasing their presence in India as a part of a trend towards globalisation.
Dixit demanded decentralisation of the taxation system, saying that the existing system was the core reason for bureaucratic corruption. 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.
Death
Dixit died on 30 November 2010 while in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh.
Publications
Dixit wrote several books:
- Swadeshi Chikitsa (in 4 volumes)
- Gau Gauvansh Par Aadharit Swadeshi Krishi
- Gau Mata Panchgavya Chikitsa
