The Pulindas (Sanskrit: पुलिंद) were an ancient tribe of India, likely resident in the environs of the Vindhya Range of Central India.[1] The Rock Edicts of Ashoka (269 BCE - 231 BCE) mention the Pulindas, their capital Pulinda-nagara, and their neighboring tribes, based on which their capital is sometimes located in present-day Jabalpur District of Madhya Pradesh state.[2] Basak identifies them with the hill tribes of the Vindhya and Satpura ranges, more specifically the Bhils.[3] Though debated, it has been hypothesized that Pulinda may have been the word from which modern-day Bundelkhand derives its name.{{Citation needed|date=December 2011}} At the time of Alexander the great and the empire of the Maurya king Chandragupta, the word Pulindas was also sometimes used as a name for the Greeks in general. Though clearly associated with the Vindhyan region, the Pulindas are sometimes believed to have had multiple tribal branches that ranged up to the Himalayan region and Assam.[4] In the Himalayan region, ancient Indian literature often mentions them in conjunction with the Kiratas.[4] References1. ^{{Citation | title=Political history of ancient India: from the accession of Parikshit to the extinction of the Gupta dynasty | author=Hemchandra Raychaudhuri | year=1953 | accessdate=2010-05-06 | isbn= | publisher=University of Calcutta | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fN89AAAAMAAJ | quote=...
