Jadoon/gadoon
is a Pakhtun tribe located in the South of the North-West Frontier Province in Pakistan, partly in Gadoon area in Swabi on the southern slopes of Mahaban Mountains, and partly in Abbottabad and Haripur of Sarhad, Pakistan. Their language is Pashto in Swabi and mostly Hindko in Abbottabad.
The name Jadoon is sometimes spelled as Gadoon and in one citation as Suddoon.
Actually jadoon are the ihebatants and gadoon is the area.the people of gadoon are called jadoon== History == The Jadoon are descended from Ashraf also known as Jadoon (Gadoon) of the Panni clan of the Ghurghusht Afghan. Parni, Kakar, Naghar (who created the Naghar tribe and Dawi were four sons of Daney son of Ismail, also known as Ghurghusht. They created three tribes: Parni, Kakar, and Naghar (Dawi mixed with the Kakar)
The people of this tribe call themselves jadoons, but Eastern Afghans who change the letter S`h into K`h and "j" into "G" style them Gadoons as the letter J and G are interchangeable in the Pushto language, just as jillani and Gillani are synonyms. The Jadoons were freedom fighters and they showed bravery against their rivals, especially the Sikhs and the British with other prominent Pashtun tribes of the region like the Swati, Tareens Khaji khail and Shilmani. Their leader Sakhi Jan Jadoon had been martyred during the freedom efforts against the Sikhs in the 19th century.
The genealogical table of the tribe, as given in the "Tarikh-e-Khan Jahaniwa-Mukhazan-e-Afghani" by Kawaja Nimatullah Harvi, written in about 1612 A.D, is reproduced (in appendix No.1). This book was written in the region of Mughal emperor Jahangir in which the Jadoon tribe is referred to as a branch of the Panni Afghan. Sir Olaf Caroe, in his famous book "The Pathans" under the genealogical table of Ghurghusht mentions that Jadoons descended form the Panni tribe. Ziring, the author of "Pakistan: The Enigma of Political Development" on page 149 and on page 14 of the year book of the NWFP 1954, writes
Jadoons were warriors . they helped those tribes who were subsided or crushed by the powerful tribes. This was why jadoon tribe arrived to fight and give relief to all those tribes who were subsided and dis graced by other powerful neighboring clans. The arrival of jadoons to swabi and Abbottabad are the examples of helping weak tribes always attacked by the powerful. the jadoons secured their warrior blood not to giving their daughters or not got married their sons out of jadoons.this was the main cause that they secured their inherited values.but as the time passed and the circumstances changed now jadoon has got their relations to all the communities in and out side of Pakistan.however jadoons are different in their habits and manners they are pure pakhtoons and real Muslims.If an enemy come to their door steps they never hurt him during the boundaries of their home. they are sincere in friend ship and bitter in enmity
