The Gonds
The Gonds are one of the largest tribal groups in South Asia .They are mainly found in Central India -In Madhya pradesh ,Eastern Maharashtra, Nothern Andhra Pradesh ,Odisha and Chattisgarh .Their land came to be known as Gondwana , the land of the Gonds.
The Gonds were traditionally nomads, who were in the course of time, settled into a life of Farming .
The Gonds lived in a vast forested region called Gondwana- or “country inhabited by Gonds”. They practiced shifting cultivation. The large Gond tribe was further divided into many smaller clans. Each clan had its own raja or Rai. About the time that the power of the Delhi sultans was declining, a few large gond kingdoms were beginning to dominate the smaller Gond chiefs. The Akbar nama, a history of Akbar’s reign, mentions the Gond kingdom of Garha Katanga that had 70,000 villages.
The administrative system of these kingdoms was becoming centralized. The kingdom was divided into garh. Each garh was controlled by a particular Gond clan. This was further divided into units of 84 villages called Chaurasi. The Chaurasi was subdivided into Barhots which were made up of 12 villages each.
The emergence of large states changed the nature of Gond society. Brahmanas received land grants from the Gond rajas and became more influential. The Gond chiefs now wished to be recongnised as Rajputs. So, Aman das, the gond raja of garha Katanga, assumed the title of sangram shah. His son, Dalpat, married princess Durgawati, the daughter of salbahan, the chandel Rajput raja of Mahoba.
Dalpat, however, died early. Rani Durgawati was very capable, and started rulling on behalf of her five-year –old son, bir narain. Under her the kingdom becomes even more extensive. In 1565 the Mughal forces under Asaf Khan attacked garh Katanga. A strong resistance was put up by Rani Durgawati. She was defeated and preferred to die rather than surrender. Her son, too, died fighting soon after
Graham Katanga was a rich state. It earned much wealth by trapping and exporting wild elephants to other kingdoms. When the Mughal defeated the Gonds, they captured a huge booty of precious coins and elephants. They annexed part of the kingdom and granted the rest to Chandra Shan, uncle of Bir Narain.
