Sada Kaur was the leader of the Kanhaiya Misl, one of the Sikh confederacies, after the death of her husband Gurbakhsh Singh in 1785. She married her daughter to the young Ranjit Singh of the Sukerchakia Misl and supported him with troops, notably in his capture of Lahore in 1799. Ranjit Singh later took over her lands, and she died in confinement in 1832.
