Muhammad Rahim of Bukhara
Muhammad Rahim of Bukhara was a chief of the Manghit tribe who took effective power in the Khanate of Bukhara in the 1740s under the protection of Nader Shah. After Nader's death in 1747 he pushed aside the Janid khans and in 1756 took the title of khan himself. His relatives continued Manghit rule, which Shah Murad formalised as the Emirate of Bukhara in 1785.
