The Jadoon[a] (Pashto: ږدون,ګدون،سدون، یدون، زدون) or Jadun are a Pakhtun tribe residing mostly in the Abbottabad, Haripur and Mansehra city of the Hazara Division, Kohistan and partly in the Swabi district of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. Some members of the tribe also live in Nangarhar and Kunar in Afghanistan.[1][2][3][4]
Sakhi Jan Jadoon was a Pashtun leader of the Jadoon tribe, born in 1790 and died in the Battle of Attock in 1831. Along with Syed Ahmad Barelvi, Sakhi Jan Jadoon partook in the freedom fighting efforts against the Sikh Khalsa regime and is known as a brave fighter among the Pashtuns of Swabi, Abbottabad, Haripur and the Gadoon area.[b]
Olaf Caroe in his 1958 The Pathans, the most comprehensive collection of history of Afghans at that time writes that Jadoons, mostly based in Hazara are under the Panni tribe in the genealogy of the Gharghasht.[5]
In 1841 J. Forbes and John William Kaye said the following with reference to the Jadoons who lived in the tribal areas outside the limits of British India.[6]
The Jadoons are not British subjects, though they inhabit a portion of the district called Hazara. They inhabit a portion of the frontier below, that is south of the Hussanzye tribe, lying on the right bank of the Indus, and opposite to the British town of Torbeyla. Westward their territory extends till it meets the higher ranges of the Hindoo Koosh. The Mahabun mountain, with its dense forest, lies within their boundary, and the whole tract is wild and rugged in an almost inconceivable degree. Though the Jadoons accompanied the Yoosufzyes when they descended from Kabool in the fifteenth century, and conquered and occupied the valley of Peshawaur, they claim to have an independent origin, and are separate from the Yoosufzyes. The Jadoons have spread into the neighbouring district of Hazara, and now form one of the strongest tribes of that province, occupying the central portion; their villages lying from 1,500 to 6,000 feet above the plains of the Indus.[6]
According to I︠U︡riĭ Vladimirovich Gankovskiĭ, the Jadoons were a tribe of Indo-Aryan origin that were assimilated by the Kakar.[7]
Y haplogroup and mtdna haplogroup samples were taken from Jadoon, Yousafzai, Sayyid, Gujaran and Tanoli men living in Swabi District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan. Jadoon men have predominantly East Asian origin paternal ancestry with West Eurasian maternal ancestry and a lesser amount of South Asian maternal ancestry according to a Y and mtdna haplogroup test indicating local females marrying immigrant males during the medieval period. Y Haplogroup O3-M122 makes up the majority of Jadoon men, the same haplogroup carried by the majority (50-60%) of Han Chinese. 82.5% of Jadoon men carrying Q-MEH2 and O3-M122 which are both of East Asian origin. O3-M122 was absent in the Sayyid (Syed) population and appeared in low numbers among Tanolis, Gujars and Yousafzais. There appears to be founder affect in the O3-M122 among the Jadoon.[8][9][10] 76.32% of Jadoon men carry O3-M122 while 0.75% of Tanolis, 0.81% of Gujars and 2.82% of Yousafzais carry O3-M122.[11][12]
56.25% of Jadoons in another test carried West Eurasian maternal Haplogroup H (mtDNA).[13] Dental morphology of the Swabi Jadoons was also analyzed and compared to other groups in the regions like Yousufzais and Sayyids.[14]
