Desu Singh (died 1715), also known as Budha Singh, was a Sikh warrior and founder of the influential Sukerchakia Misl. Budha Singh bravely battled alongside Guru Gobind Singh and Banda Singh Bahadur, earning his nickname due to his advanced age. His military career culminated in his ultimate sacrifice in 1715 at the Battle of Gurdas Nangal, leaving behind a legacy that paved the way for his illustrious descendants, including Maharaja Ranjit Singh, founder of the Sikh Empire.[1]
