Gondwana is a region of India, named after the Gondi people who live there. The name of the ancient continent of Gondwanaland was derived from Gondwana, because some of the earliest rock formations of this continent were first investigated in part of the region, in modern Odisha Reference-[Encyclopaedia of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, By Om Gupta.].

Scholars believe that Gond people ruled in Gondwana between the 13th and 19th centuries AD. Gondwana currently comes under the eastern part of Madhya Pradesh and the western part of Odisha. Some Muslim writers mark the 14th century as the rise of the Gond tribe.
