Banadi Shehak (Шаблон:Lang-ur) was a nobility and female warrior of the 16th century from modern-day Pakistan. She was Mirzadi (Princess) of Rind tribe and sister of Mir Chakar Rind.[1][2][3]

She participated in the battle of Chausa, which was a battle between Mughals and Afghans in which Rind tribe was supporting Mughals.[4] After a fierce battle, Mughals and Rind tribe started retreating from the battlefield, seeing which Shehak broke her bangles by hitting her arms with her knees[1] and came into the battlefield herself with a sword in her hand. She killed many men, until she came in direct combat with Afghan general Sher Shah Suri.[2][3] Afghan general told her, "you, being a women, keep aside from my way",[3] to which Shehak replied, "You might think that women are the ones who sit at homes, are busy in adornment and in engaging their husbands, but it is not so!".[2]

Rind tribal forces, seeing their Mirzadi (Princess) fighting in the battlefield, stopped retreating and charged once again on the enemy[2] killing 30,000 enemy troops.[1] However, Mughals and Rind tribe ultimately lost the battle.[5] Banadi Shehak died on the same battlefield.
