Battle of Kasur
After a month of mining and assault, the Pathan principality of Kasur fell.
Kasur, south of Lahore, was a Pathan principality ruled by Qutb-ud-din Khan. Its chiefs had long been at odds with the Sikhs, and it lay dangerously close to Ranjit Singh's capital.
After earlier campaigns in 1801 and 1803, Ranjit Singh attacked in earnest in 1807. The fortress was besieged for a month; Sikh sappers mined the walls, and the Akali Nihangs under Phula Singh stormed the breach.
Qutb-ud-din surrendered and was given a jagir at Mamdot across the Sutlej. Kasur, the town of Bulleh Shah, became part of the Sikh kingdom.
