Jedhe
Jedhe is a Deshmukh sub clan of the Maratha caste in Maharashtra, India.
The village of Kari was the capital of the Jedhe Deshmukh.[1] Ambavade is also their village. The clan members were subjects of Shivaji's father, Shahaji. They served as revenue collectors under the sultans of Deccan and were later honoured as Sardar by the sultans.[2][3]
The Jedhe were the pioneer house of Deshmukhs among Marathas who supported Shivaji's Kingdom and helped the Maratha Empire grow in its early stages.[4][5] From this connection comes the claim that the Jedhe are among the 96 clans of Maratha chiefs.[citation needed] They also served in the Maratha army and held the Sardarki position, which contributed to the further expansion of the Maratha Empire.[5]
