The name Gond comes from Gondwana, geographically connected to the tribe. The Gonds spread over Telangana, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh; the story of this tribe in Telangana is as significant as anywhere else. Gonds are concentrated mostly in the Komaram Bheem Asifabad and Adilabad districts. They most likely spread from the south of the present-day Bastar district into the rest of southern state Chhattisgarh. According to the Gondi language, the Gonds call themselves Koyathur. Subgroups of the Gonds include the Rajgonds, who serve as prominent leaders of the community in Telangana, and the Pradhans, who serve as the tribe’s traditional storyteller, whose job includes enormous responsibility for preserving and passing on not only the tribe’s cultural history but also its accumulated wisdom..
