The historical name of a region in central India. It refers to the area from the Vindhya Mountains in the north to the lower reaches of the Godavari River in the south, centered on the borders of the states of Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra. This name was used after an Islamic historian in the 14th century described the Gond people and their region. The Gond kingdoms flourished from the 14th to the 18th centuries, and the three most powerful kingdoms, Garha, Deogarh, and Chanda, survived even under the Mughal Empire, but were defeated by the Maratha Confederation in the 18th century, and most of Gondwana was annexed by the princely state of Nagpur, and parts by the Hyderabad Sultanate. However, not all Gond kingdoms disappeared, and even after most of the region was ruled by the British from 1818 to 1853, the Chhattisgarh Sultanate continued to exist until Indian independence.

インド中央部の歴史的地方名。マディヤプラデーシュ,アンドラプラデーシュ,マハーラーシュトラ各州の州境付近を中心に,北はビンディア山脈付近から,南はゴダバリ川下流付近までをさす。 14世紀にイスラムの歴史家が,ゴンド族とその居住地方について記述してからこの名称が用いられた。 14~18世紀にゴンド王国が栄え,なかでもガルハ,デオガル,チャンダの3国が特に強力で,ムガル帝国治下でも存続したが,18世紀にマラータ連合に打ち破られ,ゴンドワナの大半はナーグプルの藩王国に,一部はハイデラバード王国に併合。しかし,すべてのゴンド王国が消滅したわけではなく,1818年から 53年までの間にこの地方の大部分がイギリスに支配されたのちも,チャティスガル国はインド独立まで存続した。
