[QUOTE="nsbuttar, post: 6473, member: 983"] Yes this very true, but the role of women is no less than males whenever there were odd circumstances. Just lilttle highlight on sikh women. " The role of Punjabi women as commandos on the battlefield is no less glorious. Sada Kaur, the mother-in-law of teenaged Ranjit Singh, shadowed her son-in-law in all his major engagements against the Mughals especially after the Afghans had routed the Marathas at Panipat and became so powerful, that the Moghul throne survived but only under their duress. She is remembered as one of the greatest generals of her time even in the Afghan records. Rani Sahib Kaur, sister of the infant ruler Sahib Singh of Patiala, successfully defended her brother's kingdom against the attacks of the Marathas, Afghans and European adventurers like George Thompson and chased them away from the battlefield. In the Sikh Ardas, God's name is taken thrice at the mention of 40 Muktas. Mukta is a word derived from mukti or moksh which means' release from the bondage of maya. These forty souls would have been remembered as black sheep, but for the intervention and action of a Punjabi lady called Mai Bhago. Pressed by the Moghuls, Guru Gobind Singh was leading his small force through guerilla routes towards the desert areas of Punjab around Khiderana, so that for lack of victuals and water, the large Moghul force would become inoperative. The hardships caused to the Sikh force in this inhospitable tract were no less painful. Under the strain of the misery forty war-riors of the Guru's force led by their commander, Mahan Singh, wrote a note of desertion to the Guru and fled the field. However as they reached their houses, their womenfolk, under the influence of Mai Bhago, refused to let them enter their homes and lamented at them endlessly, "You wear the bangles and run the kitchen while we join the Guru on the battle-field." The taunt proved too sharp for the erstwhile warriors who decided to return to the Guru and to the battlefield. Mai Bhago took them under her command on their return journey, to ensure that they would not escape somewhere else. By the time these forty saint soldiers, under their female commander reached Khiderana , the Guru was already engaged in a battle with the Moghul forces. Mai Bhago's band surprised the Moghul commander, who was already being stiffly tried by the Guru's forces. By the time he decided to run from the field, only wounded Mahan Singh was left alive gasping for breath. The bodies of others, including that of Mai Bhago lay dead on the battlefield. Soon the Guru was at Mahan Singh's side; "Be so gracious as to tear our note of desertion", were the last words he uttered before his Guru as he breathed his last Because of Mal Bhago's sacrifice, the dune of Khiderana is the flourishing city called Muktsar, the giver of redemption.
