Sada Kaur - Kanhaiya Misal

The Kanaihya Misal flourished under Jai Singh and thereafter his daughter-in-law Sada Kaur. A brave and ambitious leader she did not shy away from the battlefield. Playing a critical role in the rise to power of her son-in-law Ranjit Singh she guided and helped him occupy Lahore in 1799. She led her army in the combined Kanhaiya & Sukerchakia campaigns of Amritsar, Kasur, Hazara and Attock.

“Thus fell, after having figured prominently in Punjab politics for about thirty years, the high spirited Sada Kaur, one of the most remarkable women in the history of the Punjab. She had been the mainstay of Ranjit Singh’s power, the ladder, whereby that monarch had been enabled to reach the summit of his greatness.”
Syed Muhammad Latif in “History of the Punjab” 1891
