[3] During the Afghan Durrani invasion of the 18th century, Daska was ruined, and its inhabitants were forced to seek shelter in the nearby mudfort of Kot Daska. [4] Daska was later repopulated during the Sikh era. [5] Daska was captured by Ranjit Singh in 1802 and made part of the Sikh Empire. [6]

In 1929, Daska was the site of Hindu-Sikh riots when Akali Sikhs attempted to seize control of Gurdwara Sant Wayaram Singh. The local Hindu community claimed it was built to be a dharamsala. [7]

In August 1947, 5,000 refugees from surrounding areas gathered at Daska Camp for two weeks before being escorted to the Indian border by the Pakistani Military. [8]
