Kheadaha is a village and agram panchayat within the jurisdiction of theSonarpur police station in theSonarpurCD block in theBaruipur subdivision of theSouth 24 Parganas district in theIndianstate ofWest Bengal.
During 1946–1950, theTebhaga movement in several parts of the24 Parganas district led to the enactment of the Bargadari Act. Although the Bargadari Act of 1950 recognised the rights ofbargadars 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 inSonarpur CD block. From 1977 onwards, major land reforms took place inWest Bengal under theLeft Front government. Land in excess of the land ceiling was acquired and distributed among the peasants.[3]
