Late Dr. Rajiv Dixit, Founder of ‘Swadeshi’ movement

Rajiv Dixit, the all-India Secretary of ‘Bharat Swabhiman Trust’ and pioneer of ‘Swadeshi’ movement passed away yesterday and the ‘Swadeshi’ movement was hit with a big blow. It will not be wrong to say that death at only 43 years of age is an attack on Indian cultureand any true patriot who is aware of the mission of Rajiv Dixit will agree with the same. It is not possible to forget the mission of Rajiv Dixit whose ship with ‘Swadeshi’ sail surmounted the tsunami of foreign goods used in this country. Look at one ‘Rajiv’ (Gandhi), who under influence of western culture, fell prey to a foreign woman and the other ‘Rajiv’, who remained bachelor for carrying on the mission of protection of his country, Dharma and culture. No Indian is likely to forget this.

The British came to India for trade and they took over this country; then for the next 150 years, they exploited Indians and looted India. The only answer to the exploitation by the British was insistence for use of ‘Swadeshi (Indian)’ goods. Many freedom fighters staged intense agitations for this cause. Swatantryaveer Savarkar first burnt imported clothes thus lighting the sacred fire of ‘Swadeshi’ movement. Tata set up his own company and started manufacturing products of Indian make. Mohandas Gandhi also insisted on ‘Swadeshi’. He started wearing hand-woven cloth. Thousands of Indians got inspired with him and started using ‘Swadeshi’ products.

The Congress rulers forgot the ‘Swadeshi’ movement of freedom fighters once freedom was gained and failed to educate the new generation on ‘Swadeshi’ issue; in fact, it never even made any attempt to teach the new generation importance of ‘Swadeshi’ things. As a result, the generation, post independence, gave priority to imported goods. The staunch patriots were once again reminded of the British Rule with the privatization of companies started from the year 1991 and presence of the multinational companies like Pepsi, Coca, Hindustan Lever, Bennett and Colman and Mc Donald etc. in India; but the ordinary Indian citizen did not realize it as he had forgotten about the oppression and exploitation undergone at the hands of the British. Around this time, Rajiv Dixit, a scientist studied in IIT, gave up his job as he was fed up of corruption and decided to fight against corruption. He started ‘Azadi Bachao’ movement to make Indians aware of the dangers that can follow the multinational companies.

His tempestuous propagation in last two decades and the response received from Indians, created a tremendous awareness among people towards imported goods. He came across hundreds of youth who participated in his movement. This led to decrease in sales of products manufactured by the multinational companies. He was brutally attacked two times; but fortunately, he was saved. He already belonged to a family of revolutionaries. He had worked as a scientist with the senior scientist and former President Dr. Abdul Kalam in France. Such staunch patriot Dixit was not to be scared of cowardly attacks. He carried on with his mission quite fearlessly. His movement was supported by Yoga guru Pujya Ramdevbaba which in a way got spiritual support. He started working through ‘Bharat Swabhiman Trust’ set up by Pujya Ramdevbaba at Haridwar and was a national general secretary of this organization.

It was the intention of Dixit to give patriots and devout Hindus as their representatives through the general elections scheduled in the year 2014. Every Indian feels that India should become a super power; but for that, it is necessary to overthrow corrupt rulers and elect nationalist rulers and Dixit had planned to do the same job; but destiny had different plan for him. He will not be able to see his dream come true; however, the patriotic and devout Hindus must try to grow several ‘Rajiv’ from the muck in this country for the country’sbetterment to fulfill ‘Rajiv’s dream as that will be the true homage to Rajiv Dixit.
