4I am raheel shafqat, i am sudhan, suddo zai from azad kashmir, i have searched on history of sudhans from many books. According to the book of bashir suddozai about punch, sudhans are suddozai tribe, nawab jassi khan a suddo zai cheif from areas near ghazni migrated to present day punch. His grave is in jassa pir. My grand father has his shajra which shows link to nawab jassi khan generation by generation. So this has been proved that sudhans are suddozai of ghazni. Thats why most of sudhans in azad kshmir have suddozai their namesBut recently have come to know about a confusion among sudhan population in ajk, i have read in a blog that sudhans are not suddozai, because suddo zai population is less than the population of sudhans and how can an extended tribe sudhan has more population than its parent tribe suddozai.Admin and other bloggers please help me to resolve this historical confusion

Confusion of Sudhan’s existence in Jammu, Indian-controlled Kashmir

There are also few Sikh and Hindus living in Indian-controlled Kashmir, who claim to be Sudhan, but they are Not Sudhans, their ancestors were local Brahmans (Hindus) of Poonch, Sudhanoti, Bagh areas, who adopted (stolen) this Sudhan cast after 1947 when they were forced to migrated during partion; they may adopted this name because they belonged to Sudhans dominated areas. They have dark olive skin and there are no qualities of original Sudhans (Pathans) found amongst them. Some of them accepted Islam and stayed in Poonch and Sudhanoti, and they are now known as Sheikhs/Shaikhs.

The tribe is known for his rule in Kashmir’s history and it was the first to take up arms against the Dogra tyranny, and does rightfully claim the greatest share in the subsequent fighting and sacrifices. They are very sensitive tribe. They will not tolerate deliberate insult. If insulted, they can fight back to establish their dignity.

Sudhan’s uprising against Dogra rule in 1947

In 1947, Dogra rulers were once again threatened by Sardar Ibrahim Khan, 32 year old Sudhan from Rawalakot, who organized army of 60.000 ex-serviesmen to fight the Dogra, there were 60,000 Sudhans who had served in the British Army. Poonch was one of the major recruiting grounds for the British. These Sudhan people own Pathan origin and would always think of themselves as fighters. There were no economic opportunities and inadequate landholdings in this area. So, most of them fought alongside the British, unlike Kashmiri Muslims, who had enough land to till and were involved in economic activities. Sudhan had military and combat skills. toegether with Pakistani Pathan (Pashtun) tribemen, it was Sudhans who libarated ‘Azad Kashmir’.
