Mudki, often spelt MOODKEE, a village of the Punjab, India, 26 miles S. of the Sutlej, and on the old road from Firozpur to Karnal. Here the first battle in the Sikh war of 1845-46 was fought (18th December 1845), when the British under Sir Hugh Gough repulsed the Sikhs, and Sir Robert Henry Sale, 'Fighting Bob,' was killed.
