Bhai Sukha Singh (1721-1753) was an eighteenth century convert to Sikhi who became synonymous with the Khalsa military ethos during his lifetime. Stoic in the face of pain, he was a man of high dynamism who straddled both the military and political spectrums effortlessly. Famed, and somewhat stereotyped, for his sterling role in the assassination of Massa Ranghar we revisit him to see what lessons his life can impart us for living in today's times.
