Rajiv Dixit was an Indian activist and was the national secretary of Bharat Swabhiman Trust. He completed his education in Ayodhya.
CareerEdit
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.[3][4][5] An aide to Ramdev, Dixit served as the national secretary of Ramdev's anti-corruption organisation Bharat Swabhiman Andolan.[1]
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.[6]
DeathEdit
Dixit died on 30 November 2010 in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh. There is still a strong belief that he was poisoned to death because of his movement against multinational companies in India and other countries. The cremation was conducted by Ramdev and Rajiv's brother Pradeep.[7]
