Posted February 5, 2018 5:06am UTC by geeta
Sher Shah Suri or Sher khan, was the founder of Sur dynasty in India. Born in 1486,he was the son of a jagirdar of Sasaram, Bihar. His original name was Farid. He left his home at the age of 15 and went to Jaunpur. There he studied Arabic and Persian languages. He had very good administrative skills as a result he was appointed by his father to manage his jagir, but due to some reasons he left it and joined the service of Mughal Emperor Babar. In 1522 he joined the service of Bahar Khan, governor of Bihar at that time. He was given the title of Sher Khan by Bahar Khan, for the courage and gallantry shown by him in killing a tiger single-handedly. Later Bahar Khan appointed him as a deputy governor and tutor of his son Jalal Khan. He again joined the service of Babur but came back. As Jalal Khan was a minor so Sher Khan was the virtual ruler of Bihar. In 1531, he asserted his freedom from the Mughal ruler Humayun. He fought many battles with him, initially capturing Gaur in Bengal and finally getting the throne of Delhi after the battle of Kannauj in 1540.

He was a brave soldier and a military genius, he made bunkers using sand bags in the battle of Mevat.

Sher Shah was very ambitious and wanted to drive the mughals out of India. He fought with Humayun and defeated him twice at Chausa and Kanauj. His other conquest included that of Malwa, Multan and Sind, Marwar and Mewar in A.D. 1544. His last expedition was that of the fort of Kalinga in Bundelkhand.

Within a short period he founded a vast empire that extended form the Brahamputra in the east to the Jhelum in the west, from the Himalayas in the north to the Narmada in the south.
