The Sukerchakia Misal was founded by Charhat Singh (1732 -1770) and after his demise, his widow Mai Desan, ruled with vigor for her young son Mahan Singh. His son Ranjit Singh established his control over numerous misal territories to establish a unified Sikh Raj in the Punjab.
“There is not the least doubt about it that if he [Mahan Singh] had lived ten years longer, he would have become the sole monarch of the whole of northern India from the Khyber Pass to the Ganga, and from the Himalayas to the Arabian Sea, and Emperor Shah Alam II would have become his protégé.”
