Indus Valley

Gonds may have migrated from Indus

Valley
On the goddess Kotamma temple woollen market way there is a rocky roof shelter for shepherds
and sheep to stay at night up to morning. This innocuous sounding statement could actually be a
revolutionary find linking the adivasi Gond tribe to the Indus Valley civilisation, which flourished
between 2500 B.C. and 1750 BC.

The sentence emerged after a set of 19 pictographs

from a cave in Hampi were deciphered using root

morphemes of Gondi language, considered by many

eminent linguists as a proto Dravidian language.
If the discovery stands the scrutiny of experts in the
field, it would mean that the Gonds living in central and
southern India could have migrated from the Indus Valley
civilisation.

What is Indus Valley Civilization? The Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) was a Bronze Age
civilization (33001300 BCE; mature period 26001900 (BCE) extending from what today is
northeast Afghanistan to Pakistan and northwest India. Along with Ancient Egypt and
Mesopotamia it was one of three early civilizations of the Old World, and of the three the
most widespread. It flourished in the basins of the Indus River, one of the major rivers of
Asia, and the now dried up Sarasvati River, which once coursed through northwest India and
eastern Pakistan together with its tributaries flowed along a channel, presently identified as
that of the Ghaggar-Hakra River on the basis of various scientific studies.
Who are Gonds? The Gondi (Gndi) or Gond people are a Dravidian people of central India,
spread over the states of Madhya Pradesh, eastern Maharashtra (Vidarbha), Chhattisgarh,
Uttar Pradesh, Telangana and Western Odisha. With over four million people, they are the
largest tribe in Central India.
