🧬 Name & Location
Saleh Khana (in Pashto: صالح خانه) is a large Khattak Pashtun village, situated just below the Cherat hills .
Its name is often interpreted as "home of good people" (Saleh = good, Khana = home), though some sources suggest an alternate meaning relating to weapon depots from Arabic “Silah” + Persian “Khana” .

🌄 Historical Roots
The Khattak tribe, originating from the Tirah Valley, settled here in the mid‑17th century. A tribal “Loy Jirga” (grand council) resolved a violent blood feud, leading the Oriya Khel sub‑tribe to inhabit the mountainous Cherat area .
Nearby Cherat was developed as a British hill station in the 1860s and later used as a cantonment. Today it serves as a Pakistani Army training site, notably for the elite Special Service Group .

💼 Economic & Diaspora Impact
A unique tradition: many villagers ran canteens for British troops—from the Northern Ireland Troubles to the Falklands War—making it a noted source of army canteen staff .
The village is exceptionally well‑banked—several major Pakistani banks have branches there, fueled by remittances .
Known as “Little England”, roughly 80 % of inhabitants now live abroad—particularly in the UK (Birmingham, Manchester, Aylesbury), as well as the USA, Canada, UAE, Australia, and Malaysia .All Our Europe
