Gondi manuscript translation to reveal Gondwana history

Source: The Hindu
Story flagged by: Maria Kopnitsky

A hidden, tiny and extremely important part of India’s modern history will soon be revealed to the world once the translation of the Gunjala Gondi manuscripts is completed within the next week. The manuscripts, written in the extinct Gondi script, subsequently named the Gunjala Gondi script, were discovered in the sleepy village of Narnoor mandal in Adilabad district in 2011, leading to a whole range of possibilities, especially in historical research.

The Centre for Dalit and Adivasi Studies and Translation (CDAST) of the University of Hyderabad, with Professor V. Krishna as its coordinator, has undertaken translation of ten manuscripts which talk of the history of the Gond Kingdom of Chandrapur (in present day Maharashtra), besides depicting Gondi culture in the form of the Ramayana.

A team from CDAST is currently translating the manuscripts dating back to 1750 at Gunjala with the help of Gondi pandits. More.
