The Nakkai Misal was founded by Hira Singh (b. 1706). He was initiated into the Khalsa in 1731, and joined the Sikh movement in the Punjab in 1748. He took possession of the Nakka territory lying between Lahore and Gogaira and between the rivers, Satluj and Ravi. With the marriage of Ranjit Singh to Raj Kaur in 1789, the relationship between the two misals was greatly strengthened. In 1802 she gave birth to Kharak Singh, the heir to the Sikh empire.
