Gandhi launched the Kheda Satyagraha on the 22nd of March 1918. The campaign was a nonviolent resistance against taxation the British levied during a period of famine in the district.
The name Kheda originated from the Sanskrit term Kshetra. The region was referred to as Khetaka in ancient literature, including in Panini's Ganapatha, dated to the 2nd century BCE.
Kheda was governed by the Chaulukya and Vaghela dynasties from the 10th to the start of the 14th century, then by the Gujarat Sultanate. The Babi Dynasty of Pashtun descent held it early in the 18th century until 1763, when the Marathas under Damajirao Gaekwad took the city. The Marathas under Anandrao Gaekwad ceded the district to the British in 1803.
The Koli Rebellion of Kheda was an uprising by Koli Patels and Koli Thakors against the East India Company beginning in 1803. After petitions to Kheda's Court of Law were ignored, Koli chiefs began raiding British territories from 1808, targeting Dholka Taluka with forces of around 150 armed fighters. The East India Company was unable to suppress the raids.
Kheda has a population of around 27,000. Its literacy rate is 70 percent, above the national average of 59.5 percent. Male literacy stands at 77 percent and female literacy at 63 percent.
