Gonder is a village in Karnal district, Haryana, India with a population of approximately 30,000. It is an historical village, named for Gautam Rishi. The Chauhan clan from Rajput dynasty has a population of 12,000. Brahmin voters are also dominated in this village, with others castes having a population of 18,000. Rajput is the main caste. The main occupation is agriculture. Though it has poor air quality, the carbon monoxide and Sulphur Dioxide levels are less.[1][2]

Three politicians from this village have so far been elected as MLAs.[3] However, the village still faces caste based discrimination of lower caste people, especially Dalits.[4] In April 2021, there was a proposal to develop the village pond along with three others, as a model pond by the Karnal civic body.[5]
