The Kadava Patidar (also variously spelled Kadwa, Kadva) are a sub-caste of the Patidars in Gujarat. They are mainly found in North Gujarat and Ahmedabad.[1] The name "Kadava" comes from "Kadi", a former district that existed during the Baroda State.[2] The Kadava Patidar are primarily engaged in agriculture, with many members of the community being farmers and landowners. They are known for their strong sense of community and adherence to traditional values and customs. The Kadava Patidar have a well-organized community structure, with various organizations and institutions working towards the welfare and development of the community.[3] Historically, the Kadava Patidar have been involved in various social and political movements in Gujarat. They played a significant role in the Indian independence movement, with many members of the community actively participating in the struggle against British colonial rule. In the post-independence era, the Kadava Patidar have continued to be politically active, with several members of the community holding important positions in the state government and local administration.[4]

Despite these theories, the Kadava Patidar continue to be primarily known for their agricultural prowess and strong sense of community identity. The community has made significant contributions to the social, economic, and political development of Gujarat, and continues to play an important role in the state's cultural and agricultural landscape.
