Yaghistan (Urdu: یاغستان; "The land of the rebellious and hostility") was a key frontier region between Afghanistan and British India.
This was an area where rebels lived, on either side of the Durand Line, roughly corresponding to the later tribal areas and Malakand and Hazara agencies of Pakistan.
