Martyrs, women and underground rebels: How Ahmedabad played key role in India's freedom struggle

Ahmedabad significantly contributed to India's freedom struggle during the Quit India Movement. Students Umakant Kadia and Vinod Kinariwala became martyrs for their bravery. Women leaders actively distributed publications and organized nationalist demonstrations. Mahatma Gandhi's Dandi March began from Ahmedabad's Sabarmati Ashram in 1930. Underground resistance leaders coordinated activities from Khadia Vyayam Shala.
