Early life[edit]

Rajiv Dixit was born on 30 November 1967 in Naah village of Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. Under the tutelage of his father Radhe Shyam Dixit, he was educated till the 12th grade in the village schooling system in Firozabad. He was influenced by the ideologies of Indian revolutionaries like Dayanand Saraswati, Chandrashekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh and Udham Singh. Later in life, he began to appreciate the early works of Ram Prasad Bismil. His life was also dedicated to causes like stopping alcohol and gutka production, cow-butchering and social injustices. On 9 January 2009, he became one of the founders of Bharat Swabhiman movement.

He worked with D. P. Agrawal to find the ancient technical knowledge of India through a survey done by William Adams in 1820.

Suggestion and opinion[edit]

Dixit suggested that the Indian Supreme Court should declare money held by Indians in Swiss banks as national property so that foreign banks would have to legally hand over this money to India.[5]
He fought various MNCs like Manforce, Cargill, Coca-Cola, Du Pont, Hindustan Unilever, and Colgate as he considered that these companies are draining the wealth of India, making it poorer.
Movements[edit]

Rajiv Dixit supported the movement of opening a chain of Swadeshi General Stores, where only Indian-made goods are sold.

He believed in Swadeshi.[6] He initiated movements like the Swadeshi Movement and Azadi Bachao Andolan (Save Freedom Movement)[7] and became their spokesperson.[8] He addressed a rally of over 50,000 people under the leadership of Swadeshi Jagaran Manch in New Delhi.[9] He also took leadership of the programme held at Calcutta which was supported and promoted by various organizations and prominent personalities and was celebrated all over India on the eve of the 150th Anniversary of the 1857 war of Indian Independence.[9]
He demanded decentralization of taxation system, saying that the current system is the core reason for the corruption in bureaucracy. He said that 80% of taxes is being used to pay the politicians and bureaucrats and just 20% for development purposes for the people. He compared the current budget system of the Indian government to the earlier British budget system in India, presenting statistics to show that they are the same. Recently he was working with Ramdev in Bharat Swabhiman Andolan as national secretary.[10]
He also doubted the terrorist attack on the United States' World Trade Center, claiming that it was stage managed by U.S. Government itself, and supported the claims of the Lone Lantern Society of the U.S.[11]
He also said that "liberalization, privatization and globalization, the three evil faces staring at us today, have pushed us towards a suicidal state."[1] Presenting an exhibition on the violent history of colonialism in 1998, he argued that these were its modern forms.[12]
He argued that modern thinkers have neglected agricultural sectors and farmers have been left to feed themselves and commit suicide.[1] Expressing his views on the Indian judiciary and legal system, he said that India is still following the laws and acts enacted during the British era and had not taken the burden of changing them as per the requirement of Indian people.[2]
Death[edit]

He died on 30 November 2010 while in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh,[13] to deliver a lecture as a part of his Bharat Swabhiman Yatra.
