Bhakt Khan was a soldier born in Bijnor, Rohilkhand (present day Uttar Pradesh).
- Bakht Khan, who led rebel forces in the early years of the anti-British Indian Mutiny (1857–58), was born c. 1797 and died in 1859.
- He worked for the British East India Company for a number of years as a field battery commander.
- Bakht Khan is descended from the ruling house of Oudh (Ayodhya), which was overthrown by the British in 1856, on his mother's side.
- When the uprising began in May 1857, he led his army to Delhi, where he quickly established himself as the key player in the rebels' independent Indian government.
