Women of the
Gondi
, the largest tribe of
Indian aboriginals
in central India. They are classified as a
Scheduled Tribe
in most
Indian states
. The
Gondi language
is related to
Telugu
and other
Dravidian languages
. About half of Gonds speak Gondi languages, while the rest speak
Indo-Aryan languages
including
Hindi
. For many years during the
British colonial period
, the Gonds were considered to have performed
human sacrifices
, although this notion was later discredited.
