FORE WORD
I feel pleasure in forwarding my views regarding the book
entitled “The Jadoons”. It is the first comprehensive piece of
research work ever written on Jadoon (Gadoon) tribe in which
maximum information has been scholarly presented. As there is a
regrettable dearth of books on this subject, I hope this treatise will
meet the real needs of the readers. The author has taken pain in
making use of material, which had hitherto been unknown to the
general readers. He utilized the historical sources with critical skill,
for which, I think, he deserves a hearty congratulation and his labour
will widely be appreciated by the tribe, history students as well as
general readers.
By adding appendices to the book, the author has made
accessible to the readers some very rare history material.
At the end I again put my feelings that it is a great privilege
for me to write a foreword of this book.

PREFACE
The study of history is an interesting, popular and
informative subject, but it is often undertaken in an uncritical
manner. I have tried to accommodate different views of prominent
historians in this book regarding ascertainment of the Jadoon
Tribe’s descent, with critical analysis having recourse to authentic
historical records for making necessary corrections and
improvements on the previous efforts.
This endeavor of mine is basically aimed at piecing together
the historical truth about the Jadoon tribe from several accounts in a
concise form, lying in a stray and scattered manner, hitherto, mostly
being in the blind spots of the readers. The convenience of the
readers being my primary concern and objective. This would make a
very comprehensive study in a very concise way in one
compendium, which might have been the earnest desire of the
readers of the history.
In point of fact, much care has been taken to compile the
facts. However, it cannot be claimed that the work is a foolproof
effort without any errors of omission and commission, for which the
writer would be regretting sincerely.
At the end I feel proud to present this book at this juncture
of the millennium, contemporaneously in the form of a humble gift to
the Jadoon tribe, in particular, and the students of history, in
general. To me this effort would not only dispel confusion, if any,
regarding the descent of the tribe, but will also prove a valuable
addition to history books on this topic.

REVIEW
It is the first comprehensive book in English ever
written, which covers all the aspects relating to the
history of Jadoon tribe, i.e. its origin, migrations, old and
new dwellings and settlements, biographies of prominent
personalities, and pedigrees (Shajras) of Pathan tribes,
etc. These topics are fully discussed and nicely
presented in scholarly manner.
It is an original and unbiased piece of research
work wherein historical facts are critically reviewed and
supported with authentic references. The analyses of
some of the historical facts are intellectually done, which
clear the cloud of doubts from the minds of readers.
Continuity of the facts is maintained and interpretation of
some of the terminologies, which relate to the history of
the tribe, is commendable. Moreover the addition of
appendices in the book has further enhanced its utility.
Apart from that, the collection, compilation and
systematic arrangement of the pedigrees of the Pathan
tribes, which is the most painstaking and laborious jobs,
have been done very nicely and efficiently. Inspite of
certain shortcomings, the author has through out
maintained full grip on the topic for which he deserves
appreciation. This book may rightly be called an
Encyclopedia of Jadoon Tribe.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I am deeply grateful to Muhammad Ayub Khan Jadoon of Mirpur,
retired director Education NWFP and ex-Chairman BISE Swat for giving
valuable and useful suggestions. He was kind enough to review the work and
suggested many valuable comments for its improvement. It would not have
been possible for me to complete this book without his guidance and
cooperation.
I feel also indebted to his son Arshad Ayyub (Correspondent the Daily
News, presently working in UNDP) who helped in proper arrangement and lay
out of the contents. He thoroughly examined the material and performed final
proof reading and editing of the text.
I wish to express my sincere gratitude and thanks to Gul Hameed
Khan, my nephew, for executing laborious and painstaking job of proofreading,
which was a task of great responsibility. He also assisted me in the collection of
information relating to the history of Jadoon tribe.
I am grateful to Mr. Haroon Khan Utmanzai of Salhad for carefully
computerizing the script for printing and Mr. Kamran Khan Imranzai of
Choonakari, Shams-ur-Rehman Shams of Topi, Yaqub Khan Adin Khel of
Malikabad, Safdar Khan Adin Khel, Dr. Junaid Akhtar Lodhi, Ashraf Khan
Jadoon Advocate of Dhamtaur, Shakeel Jadoon of Ali Printers of Abbottabad
and Ihsanullah Khan (my Nephew) for advice and moral support. Also I am
thankful to Hakim Riaz Khan Sulemanzai of Havelian and his son Major Amin -ulHaq for their moral support and encouragement.
I would like to express my deepest sense of appreciation to numerous
friends and well wishes for their useful criticism and all those who have directly
or indirectly contributed in compilation of this book.
In quoting some sources, full paragraphs have been incorporated in
this book for which I am thankful to the authors and publishers of those source
books. I am also grateful to the administration of the following institutions;
Public Library; Pushto Academy Library, University Library; Islamia
College Library of Peshawar, Public Library, Post Graduate College Library, F.F
Regimental Centre Library, Abbottabad, Punjab Public Library Lahore, Karachi
University Library, Agriculture Research Institute Library, Tarnab, Peshawar and
Revenue Record (Muhafiz Khana Mal) of DC Office, Abbottabad for providing
access to their holdings and collection.
Lastly, Iam thankful to all the members of my family, particularly, my
wife for their full cooperation and encouragement.
THANKS TO ALLAH ALMIGHTY.
