Shaikha Khokhar
Shaikha Khokhar (Punjabi: شیخہ کھوکھر) was a Punjabi Muslim chieftain of the Khokhar tribe in the 14th century under whose chieftainship the Khokhars resisted  the Timurid invasion of Punjab in 1398 CE.

A battle ensued between the Timurid forces, led by Timur, and a smaller Khokhar force, led by tribal chiefs Shaikha Khokhar and Nusrat Khokhar. According to the Tarikh-i-Farishta, written around 1612 by the 16-century historian and scholar Firishta, the larger Timurid force was victorious. Shaikha, seeing the futility of the situation, decided to lead a desperate cavalry charge against the Timurid forces but was slain. He is known to have fought over 20 battles, emerging victorious in each, and captured Lahore on nine separate occasions.

Timurid dynasty
The Timurid dynasty, self-designated as Gurkani, was the ruling dynasty of the Timurid Empire (1370–1507). It was a Sunni Muslim dynasty or Barlās clan of Turco-Mongol origin descended from the warlord Timur (also known as Tamerlane). The word "Gurkani" derives from Gurkân (گورکان)—a Persianized form of the Mongolian word kürgen, meaning 'son-in-law'. This was an honorific title used by the dynasty as the Timurids were in-laws of the line of Genghis Khan, founder of the Mongol Empire, as Timur had married Saray Mulk Khanum, a direct descendant of Genghis Khan. Members of the Timurid dynasty signaled the Timurid Renaissance, and they were strongly influenced by Persian culture and established two significant empires in history, the Timurid Empire (1370–1507) based in Persia and Central Asia, and the Mughal Empire (1526–1857) based in the Indian subcontinent.
