Frontier regionYaghistan (Urdu: یاغستان; "The land of the rebellious and hostility") was a key frontier region between Afghanistan and British Raj, roughly corresponding to the former tribal areas of Pakistan. This was an area where rebels lived, on either side of the Durand Line. The term, in use since atleast 1868, was also used in Afghanistan where Amir Abdur Rehman characterized eastern Pashtun population as "Unruly" and "Rebels".
History
Yāg͟histān was originally inhabited by Indo-Aryan Kōhistānī speakers. Many areas of Pakhli were also part of Yaghistan.
Yāghistān was the center of Mahmud Hasan Deobandi's Silk Letter Movement. The area was never conquered by the British Raj and its people and the unadministered tribes always remained hostile towards the British.
According to the Encyclopaedia of Islam, Yaghistan "referred to different sanctuaries used by Mujahideen against the British authorities from early 19th to late 19th century, in the various independent tribal areas, mainly inhabited by the Pashtun, Kashmiri and Kohistani people in the hinterland of what became the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) of British India such as the Mohmand Agency, Bunēr, Dīr, Swāt, Kohistān, Hazāra ."
Notable people
- Akbar Yaghistani, a student and companion of Mahmud Hasan Deobandi who participated in the Silk Letter Movement
