Welcome to Kamdar Family History

Mehta or Kamdar (its same family’s last name) of Jetpur, (Saurastra, Gujarat ) India. Oneof the world’s oldest family trees with authentic genealogies, and their unique influences, connections, and contributions to India’s freedom from British government. An important concept to highlight is that the Kamdar family only disagreed politically with the British agenda. We were in fact major traders and were the main agents in the Western States of India for European and North American products and services for at least 200 Years. Once this Kamdar family was involved in the Gandhian movement, they became against using any British products. Evidence of the intensity and tenacity to free India from dependency of British government will be unraveled in this web site.

It was Nagar sheth of Jetpur Shri Nautamlal B. Mehta (Kamdar) who was the first to useand bestow “Mahatma” for Shri Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi on January 21, 1915 at Kamri Bai School, Jetpur, India. From then on, Gandhiji was known as Mahatma Gandhi. It is commonly believed that Rabindranath Tagore first bestowed the name. However, this is incorrect.
