History
During Mir Abdullah Khan Wai's rule Sardar Kakar Khan Lehri lost his life in Bibi Nani whilst fighting the Kullahries from Kachhi. As a consequence some Baloch clans together drove the Kullahries permanently out of Kachhi.
Sardar Jahangir Khan Lehri actively assisted the Khan of Kalat (Mir Khudaidad Khan) in controlling rebels in Kadh region of Mastung and lost his life in the process. After his death Sardar Mir Dost Mohammad Khan Lehri supervised the tribe until his decease in the year 1905. Sardar Mir Dost Mohammad Lehri was succeeded by Sardar Mohammad Bahram Khan and haji MIr Ameer Baksh who was well loved and respected by the Lehris as well as Baloch from other tribes.
In the past, the Lehris were mostly land owners; agriculture being the main means of their livelihoods. They have an estimated population of about 200,000 in Balochistan.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“History is not what you thought. It is what you can remember. All other history defeats itself.
In Beverly Hills ... they don’t throw their garbage away. They make it into television shows.
Idealism is the despot of thought, just as politics is the despot of will.”
—Mikhail Bakunin (1814–1876)
“We aspire to be something more than stupid and timid chattels, pretending to read history and our Bibles, but desecrating every house and every day we breathe in.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
