Kheda, India History
The Marathas ceded the district to the British in 1803, and it became part of the Bombay Presidency of British India. It was a large military station until 1830, when the cantonment was removed to Deesa. Gujjars established many villages in the Kheda District area, as did Jats and other groups.
Kheda is also where Gandhi launched a Satyagraha struggle against oppressive taxation by the British at a time of famine.
