Shaikha Khokhar was a Punjabi chief of the Khokhar tribe in the 14th century. During the Timurid invasion of Punjab in 1398 CE, they were met with resistance by the Khokhar confederacy who at the time were on the ascendant in Punjab. A battle ensued between the Timurid forces led by Timur and a smaller force led by the Khokhar tribal chiefs Nusrat Khokhar and Shaikha Khokhar. According to the Zafarnama by Sharaf al-Din Ali Yazdi, 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.[1]
