Mai Sukhan was the widow of late 18th century-early 19th century Sikh leader Gulab Singh Bhangi, who gained renown in Punjab for her military leadership.
In 1805, when the forces of the powerful Lahore-based Sikh emperor Ranjit Singh were in the midst of conquest of the holy city of Amritsar, the band of defenders under the command of Mai Sukhan held them off for a considerable period of time.
