Mai Fatto

Mai Fatto (1698–1773), also known as Fateh Kaur, was the wife of Ala Singh of Patiala. She was paternal grandmother of Amar Singh. She is not to be confused with another Fateh Kaur (alias Fatto), who was the daughter of Phul Sidhu-Brar whom married a relative of Baba Buddha named Dhanna Singh. Abdali was eager to punish the Patiala chief for aiding the Marathas and thus plundered Barnala, the base of operations of Ala Singh, who by then had also escaped to Munak.

Legacy Fatto's story is recounted in Harleen Singh's book The Lost Heer: Women in Colonial Punjab. In Punjab, it is common for girls to be called "Bhain Fatto" or "Mai Fatto" when they exhibit leadership and take the initiative.
