Rahim Dil Khan Barakzai (1796âÂÂ1859) was the fourth and last Sardar of the Principality of Kandahar from 1855 until he was overthrown by his Kabul-based half-brother Dost Mohammad Khan in 1856.
Rahim Dil was born in Kandahar into a Barakzai family, to his father Payandah Khan and to an Idu Khel Hotak lady, alongside his full-brothers, also known as the 'Dil Brothers': Sher Dil Khan, Pur Dil Khan, Kohan Dil Khan and Mehr Dil Khan.
Rahim Dil succeeded his older brother Kohan Dil Khan in being the Prince of Kandahar, but this quickly backlashed as he got into a succession crisis with Kohan Dil's son Mohammad Sadiq Khan. This paved a way for Dost Mohammad Khan to conquer Kandahar, and put an end to the Principality of Kandahar, forcing Rahim Dil to flee to Iran, where he died in 1859.
