Tribe in Social anthropology, is a notional form of human social organization based on set of smaller groups (known as bands) having temporary or permanent political integration, and defined by traditions of common descent, language, culture and ideology. One of such tribes is Gond tribe, of Dravidian stock, which is believed to have its origin in a period prior to the southward migration of Dravidian people of India, aprox. around 2000 B.C. Some excerpts from Rig-veda also indicates connections of Gonds with ‘Kuyevo’ tribe prominent contemporarily. They ruled over central Indian region including southern slopes of Satpuda plateu, portions of Nagpur plains, Narmada and Godavari valley which encompassed together was historically known as Gondwana.
