As already has been mentioned that when Jadoons had separated from their parent stock, Panni, they subsequently associated themselves with Yusufzais and joined in all their migrations. Alongside the Yusufzais, they were also obliged to leave the south-western part of the Afghanistan, their old seat in Koh-e-Suleman, which is considered as the original home of all the Afghans. In the first instance, they took refuge in the “Sufed Koh” and later moved northwards, and, finally, settled for a time being in the tracts in the mountainous outskirts of Kabul. In this regard, Reverty says:
“When in the great division of Afghan people known as the Khashi sept and comprising the great tribes of Yusufzai and Mandar, Tarkalani and Gighani and their Muhammadzai and Jadun allies were driven out of the tracts in the neighborhood of Kabul, after the slaughter of their chief and notables by command of Mirza Ullugh Beg, the Babar’s uncle, set out eastwards in search of new home and place of sojourns, the plain of Peshawar, the Do- ab, Kala Parnei (Kalpani) the district east and great part of Nangrahar, were in possession of the great tribe of Dilazak Afghan and they at the prayer of the then helpless and homeless Khakhis assigned them the Do-ab District to dwell in, much to the delight of the Khakhis. In the course of their travels, the Yusufzai had been joined by the Muhammadzais, Utmankhels and the Jaduns”. This happened probably at the close of 15th century A.D.
