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:
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
