Hand Cannons were invented in China. Check this extract from India :

"The general consensus is that hand cannons originated in China, and were spread from there to the rest of the world. [2]  The earliest firearm was "discovered... in Manchuria dating from the 1200s", [2]  and the earliest artistic depiction of a hand cannon is a firearm-wielding figure that was found in twelfth-century Sichuan."
