The Gonds are among the largest tribes in Central India, numbering about 4 million.Though predominantly centred in Madhya Pradesh, they are present in significant numbers in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Odisha.The recorded history of the Gond people goes back 1400 years, but considering that they inhabit areas where rock paintings dating to the Mesolithic have been found, their antecedents probably date back even further.For the past few decades they have been at the receiving end of the Naxalite–Maoist insurgency in the central part of India.Gonds are famous for their arts and painting.
