Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rahimabad is a village in the Leghari Estate in Rahim Yar Khan District, part of the former Bahawalpur State, in Pakistan. It is approximately 24 kilometres west of Sadiqabad. It was founded around 1860 AD by Sardar Mir Alam Khan Leghari (I) and his brothers. They were the sons and heirs of Sardar Mohammad Rahim Khan Leghari (I) Leghari Sardar and Tumandar. Upon the death of Sardar Rahim Khan Leghari, his sons migrated from Choti Zareen, their ancestral home, to the State of Bahawalpur due to internal differences within the clan. (See also Leghari). Sardar Noor Mohammad Khan Leghari (I) was the architect behind the development of Rahimabad and the Leghari family's rise to prominence in Bahawalpur State.
