Mai Bhago
Sometimes called the "Sikh Joan of Arc", Mai Bhago (17th-18th century) was a Sikh warrior woman who is now venerated as a saint in Sikhism.
Born in Chabal Kalan in what is now Punjab, to an important and religious family. She learned Shaster vidya, a form of martial arts taught by Sikh gurus using stick-fighting. In 1705, when the Mughals invaded, 40 Sikhs abandoned their people and their Guru because they were told they would be spared. Mai Bhago openly criticized and shamed them for their disloyalty and rallied these deserters, convincing them to return to Guru Gobind Singh and apologize.
During this time, the Mughals attacked Guru Gobind Singh and forced him and his people forced to flee. They met up with Mai Bhago and her men in Khidrana, where they attacked and defeated the Mughals. All 40 of the men following her died, and Mai Bhago was severely injured, but they succeeded in forcing a Mughal retreat.
After the battle, Mai Bhago became a bodyguard of Guru Gobind Singh, dressing in men's clothes and dual-wielding a musket and a lance (the lance weighed over 100 pounds|45kg). She did this until his death, when she retired.
Today, Mai Bhago is remembered as the first Sikh woman to take up arms against oppressors.
