Khadki is best known for its longstanding role as an Indian Army base. The locality is home to an ordnance factory with two ammunition factories, the Central Armed Forces Vehicle Depot (CAFVD), and the Military Dairy Farm. The area is surrounded by major military installations, including the College of Military Engineering in Dapodi and the Bombay Engineering Group, highlighting its role as a defense hub. The Khadki (or Kirkee) Cantonment, one of the richest cantonments in India, remains a central feature, housing the Kirkee War Cemetery and two special memorials maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The cemetery holds graves of 1,668 Commonwealth service personnel from World War II, along with 629 from World War I, reburied here from the Bombay Sewri Christian Cemetery in 1962.

The locality's historical significance dates back to the Battle of Khadki, a pivotal clash between the British East India Company and the Marathas. This event marked a turning point in the area’s history, leading to the establishment of the Khadki Cantonment by the British, which continues to shape its character and infrastructure today.

Khadki’s landscape is defined by the Mula River, which borders it on three sides and converges with the Mutha River at Sangamwadi. Two historic bridges—the Holkar Bridge and the Sangam Double Bridges (for both rail and road traffic)—add to the area’s scenic and strategic charm, enhancing its military roots and offering striking views of the river.

Khadki has a rich legacy in field hockey and football, hosting local matches at the CAFVD Sports Stadium. It is known as a "hockey bastion" and has produced notable players, including former Indian hockey captain Dhanraj Pillay and renowned full-back Joe Philips. The locality's sporting culture continues to thrive, fostering a sense of community and pride among residents.

Khadki offers a variety of educational institutions, including Kendriya Vidyalaya R.H.E, St. Joseph's, All Saints, S.V.S. High School, and Alegaonkar School. It also has prominent colleges like TJ College, Tikaram Jagannath College, and the College of Management Studies. Residents have access to quality healthcare services at the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Cantonment General Hospital and the Ordnance Factory Hospital. The vibrant Khadki Bazaar serves as a bustling market that caters to the diverse needs of the local community.

Khadki's connectivity is enhanced by its proximity to transport hubs, including the New Wakadewadi MSRTC Bus Stand, Old Sangvi Bus Stand, Khadki Railway Station, Dapodi Railway Station, and upcoming metro stations at Khadki and Bopodi. Despite occasional traffic congestion during peak hours, these transport options make commuting convenient.

Khadki is home to a diverse population with a blend of ethnic, linguistic, and religious backgrounds. This multicultural environment contributes to a rich community life and fosters cultural harmony. Khadki’s heritage, coupled with modern amenities and vibrant community spirit, makes it a locality where history and contemporary life beautifully intertwine.

Malik Ambar (1549–13 May 1626) was an Ethiopian born in Harar, sold as a child by his parents due to poverty. He was eventually brought to India and remained enslaved by the people that bought him. Nevertheless in time he created an independent army that had up to 1500 men. This army resided in the Deccan region and was hired by many local kings. He also founded the city of Aurangabad, Maharashtra[3] on the site of a previous village. He eventually rose to become a very popular Prime Minister of the Ahmadnagar Sultanate, showing his administrative acumen in various fields. Malik is also regarded as a pioneer in Guerilla warfare in the Deccan region. He is credited with having carried out a systematic revenue settlement of major portions of the Deccan, which formed the basis for many subsequent settlements. He died in 1626. He is a figure of veneration to the Siddis of Gujarat. He humbled the might of the Mughals and Adil Shah of Bijapur and raised the falling status of the Nizam Shah.

Early life

Malik Ambar was born in the city of Alhura in a Habshi tribe of Maya, the capital of the Adal Sultanate, in modern eastern Ethiopia. However some sources mention the Ethiopian town of Harar as his birthplace.[6] Both Ethiopia and the rebellious (formerly vassal) Adal sultanate were devastated after two decades of war with each other. According to the Futuhat-i `adil Shahi, Malik Ambar then known as Shambhu or Shan-bu was sold into slavery by his parents. He ended up in al-Mukha in Yemen, where he was sold again for 20 ducats and was taken to the slave market in Baghdad, where he was sold a third time to the Qadi al-Qudat of Mecca and again in Baghdad to Mir Qasim al-Baghdadi, who eventually took him to south-central India. Unlike most slaves sold from Ethiopia,[7][8] he was ethnically Habesha (by the stricter definitions), as supported by the Dutch merchant Pieter van den Broecke's description of him, "a black kafir from Abyssinia with a stern Roman face."[9]

His career

Malik Ambar was the regent of the Nizamshahi dynasty of Ahmednagar from 1607 to 1626. During this period he increased the strength and power of Murtaza Nizam Shah and raised a large army. He changed the capital from Paranda to Junnar and founded a new city, Khadki which was later on changed to Aurangabad by the Emperor Aurangzeb when he invaded the Deccan (1658 to 1707). Malik Ambar cherished strong love and ability for architecture. Aurangabad was Ambar's architectural achievement and creation. Malik Ambar the founder of the city was always referred to by harsh names by Emperor Jahangir. In his memoirs he never mentions his name without prefixing epithets like wretch, cursed fellow, Habshi, Ambar Siyari, black Ambar, and Ambar Badakhtur. Some historians believe that those words came out of frustration as Malik Ambar had resisted the powerful Mughals and kept them away from Deccan. "[10]
