Rajiv Dixit[a] (30 November 1967 – 30 November 2010)[3] was an Indian social activist who founded the Azadi Bachao Andolan. He was also noted for spreading false claims about the Indian national anthem and Jawaharlal Nehru.[4][5]

His organisation promoted a message of swadeshi-economics that opposed globalisation and neo-liberalism. In alliance with Ramdev, he formed the Bharat Swabhiman Andolan and its political offshoot, which combined the economic message with promotion of yoga and ayurveda.
