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 [[Globalization|globalisation]].<ref name="NIE">{{citation|last=Kumaraswam|first=B.

During his career as an activist, Dixit demanded decentralisation of the [[Taxation in India|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.<ref name="tim">{{citation|title=Decentralise taxes, says Azadi Bachao Andolan supporter|date=9 March 2003|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2003-03-09/bangalore/27261142_1_taxes-crore-budget-system|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110811094611/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2003-03-09/bangalore/27261142_1_taxes-crore-budget-system|url-status=dead|archive-date=11 August 2011|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref>
