Shaheedan Misl

It held a small amount of territory in the Malwa (Punjab) area around the Damdama Sahib[3] before being incorporated into the Sikh Empire of the Sukerchakia Misl by Ranjit Singh.

In 1748, Baba Deep Singh was appointed the leader of the Shaheedan Misl and the Mahant of the Takht Sri Damdama Sahib.

In 1757, Ahmad Shah Abdali invaded India[citation needed] and sent an army to the Harmindar Sahib to block Sikhs from entering the Gurdwara.

Baba Deep Singh and a company of men who rode with him to free the gurdwara were killed in the Battle of Amritsar (1757)[4] against the Durrani Army.

His successor, Suddha Singh, later led the misl into a skirmish against the Afghan government of Jalandhar City.

A 1780 map of the Punjab Region shows the relative positions of the Sikh Misls and other states.
