Yar Hussain is one of the largest towns in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, lying about 23 kilometres (14 mi) from the district capital of Mardan and 82 kilometres (51 mi) from the provincial capital of Peshawar.
Yar Hussain is the business centre of the surrounding locality, which includes the towns of Yaqubi, Sard Chena, Ghazikot, Sadri Jadeed, Urmel Dehri, Sadri Qadeem, Sano Banda, Naiknam, Jagganat, Payende and Dobian. It is also the biggest tobacco business centre. The tobacco produced is of a good quality. However, the rate of return for the farmers is much less compared to the profit margin for middlemen, companies and cigarette manufacturers.
Yar Hussain is a village of high cultural values, especially the hospitality. People serve their guests with an open heart and a smile. Many of the old traditions are still followed.
Yar Hussain has made modest development since Pakistan's independence. However, this almost one-party system, showing the strong commitment of Yousafzai Pakhtuns to Bāchā Khān and his mission, has also had some negative effects, like the lack of electoral accountability of ANP candidates. In the absence of pressure from the electorate, the successful candidates mostly ignore developmental works. This phenomenon is not limited to Yar Hussain – it affects Swabi District as well. However, it is expected that the current provincial government will clean up this decade-old syndrome.
The village has become a commercial hub, mainly because of surrounding small villages' dependence on its market. It now has New Adda at Mata Shagai from which Flyingcoaches depart for Rawalpindi, Jehangira, and Mardan.
Yar Hussain has a strong Jirga system, comprising the elders (Masharan) of the village. Police Station Yar Hussain also has a conciliatory committee (Maslehati Committee). The decisions, conciliation, mediation, and arbitration of the Jirga are highly appreciable. Yar Hussain has seen very bad and worst enmities during the recent past. These problems were solved by the elders of the village. Most of the disputes among the people are solved by the Jirga because it is speedy and cheaper justice. These elders have solved thousands of disputes in Yar Hussain and nearby villages without having personal benefits.
