Shabqadar Doaaba contains more than 80 villages. Gigyanis migrated from Qandhar to Ghazni, then from Ghazni to surroundings of Kabul and then from Kabul to the present Shabqadar Doaaba. There is a separate platoon for Gigyani tribe in FC (Frontier Constabulary). Yaqoobzai(Mughal kheil and Kundal kheil), Meerzai, Manduzai, Hassanzai, khubaizai, Musazai and Mandizai etc. are the sub-divisions of Gigyani tribe. Gigyanis, Yousafzai and Tarkani(in Bajaur) are brothers, collectively called Khashi Kheil. Some books have written that the name “Gigyani” is given to this tribe because of the name of the mother of this tribe but this is not true.Gigyanis are traced back to Qais Abdur Rasheed as Gigyani son of Khakhykhel son of Kand son of Khrashbun son of Sarban son of Qais AbdurRasheed. Shabqadar Doaaba is the main land of Gigyanis. It is the area between river Swat and river Kabul. Shabqadar is a separate tehsil of district Charsadda.
