The story of the Rijhsinghani surname

The Rijhsinghanis take their name from an ancestor named Rijhsingh — the suffix -ani denoting "of his lineage." Their Chachra nukh connects them to a clan shared with some branches of the Lalwani Diwans and certain Bhaiband families — a reminder that clan identity in Sindh often cuts across the Amil/Bhaiband distinction. The family served as ajardars (revenue collectors) and held record-office positions in Hyderabad — roles that required both trust and literacy in Persian and later Sindhi administrative languages.
