Sakhakot is an administrative unit, known as Union council, of Malakand District in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.[1] The name of Sakhakot is derived from two words, "Sakha" and "Kot" which means "fort of generosity". [citation needed] People of Sakhakot are historically best known for their hospitality and generosity. The area is termed as a fort because of it providing safety to those who sought asylum who were believed to be enemies of the state.[citation needed]
One of the elders, Shahi Baba of Yousafzai tribe proclaimed that nobody dare touch the people who are once given protection. [citation needed] Shahi Baba of Shalman Rais Branch was also known for his guerilla war against the British. He was effective fighting the British invaders by joining hands with Sartor Faqir[2] who was later on killed in action. This was a setback and the British strengthened their camp in Kharki village.
At present it is famous for its handmade weapons industry.
The District of Malakand has 3 tehsils i.e. Swat Rani Zai, Sam Rani Zai, and Thana Baizai. Each tehsil comprises certain numbers of Union councils. [citation needed] There are 28 union councils in district Malakand. [citation needed]
