Jadoon

Jadoon is a Pashtun tribe. They live in the districts of Abbottabad and Swabi of N.W.F.P of Pakistan. Their spoken language is Pashto in Swabi and mostly Hindko in Abbottabad. 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 Swati, Tareens Tanoli shilmani/shalmani and Mashwanis. Jadoons leader Sakhi Jan Jadoon has been martyred during the freedom efforts against the Sikhs in the 18th century. They are divided into two great clans namely Salar and Mansoor.
