Banadi Shehak
Banadi Shehak () was a female warrior of 16th century from modern-day Pakistan. She was "Mirzadi" (Princess) of Rind tribe and sister of Mir Chakar Rind. She participated in the battle of Chausa, which was a battle between Mughals and Afghans in which Rind tribe was supporting Mughals. After a fierce battle, Mughals and Rind tribe started retreating from the battlefield, seeing which Shehak broke her bangles and came into the battlefield herself with a sword in her hand. She killed many men, until she came in direct combat with Afghan general Sher Shah Suri. Afghan general told  her, ""you, being a women, keep aside from my way"", to which Shehak replied, ""You might think that women are the ones who sit at homes, are busy in adornment and in engaging their husbands, but it is not so!"." Rind tribal forces, seeing their "Mirzadi" (Princess) fighting in the battlefield, stoped retreating and charged once again on the enemy. However, Mughals and Rind tribe ultimately lost the battle. Banadi Shehak died on the same battlefield.
