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 Maharaja 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.
