Jadoon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jadoon (Hindko/Pashto/Urdu: جدون), also called Gadoons (Pashto: ګدون), is a Pashtun tribe in Pakistan. Horace Rose, an amateur ethnologist and administrator in the British Raj, noted them in 1911 as being present partly in Gadoon in Swabi, and partly in Abbottabad and Haripur districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Across the Durand line, some members of the tribe live in Nangarhar and Kunar in Afghanistan. The Jadoons speak Pashto in Swabi and Afghanistan and Hindko in Abbottabad and Haripur. The Jadoons are subdivided into three clans: Salar, Mansoor and Hassazai.[1]
