Kheadaha is a village and a gram panchayat within the jurisdiction of the Sonarpur police station in the Sonarpur CD block in the Baruipur subdivision of the South 24 Parganas district in the Indian state of West Bengal.

History

During 1946–1950, the Tebhaga movement in several parts of the 24 Parganas district led to the enactment of the Bargadari Act. Although the Bargadari Act of 1950 recognised the rights of bargadars to a higher share of crops from the land that they tilled, it was not implemented. Large tracts, beyond the prescribed limit of land ceiling, remained with the rich landlords. In 1967, West Bengal witnessed a peasant uprising against the non-implementation of land reform legislation, starting from Kheadaha gram panchayat in Sonarpur CD block. From 1977 onwards, major land reforms took place in West Bengal under the Left Front government. Land in excess of the land ceiling was acquired and distributed among the peasants.^[3]
