Khadia was the epi center of great freedom movement of 1942. Shri Jayantibhai thakor of khadia was famously called as “Shaher Suba” at that time.

Mahagujarat movement of 1956, resulted in formation of Gujarat with maximum casualties from Khadia.

Navnirman agitation of 1974 saw the rise of first non-congress govt. in Gujarat , which later spreaded that fire to whole country. Again khadia had the lead role.
