7. The sur empire lasted for only _______ years?
Answers
Explanation:
Territory of Sur Empire. The Sur Empire was an Afghan dynasty which ruled a large territory in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent for nearly 16 years, between 1540 and 1556, with Sasaram, in modern-day Bihar, serving as its capital.
Answer:
After Ibrahim Lodi was defeated by Babur in 1526 AD (first battle of Panipat), the Afghan chiefs who were still powerful, gathered together under the leadership of Sher Shah Suri to mark their discontent against the alien rule. As a result the Sur Empire of Pashtun origin (the tribal house of Sur) came to power and ruled a massive territory of Northern part of South Asia from 1540-1556 AD, with their capital as Delhi. The empire’s major strength is in the fact that it disturbed the hold of the Mughal Empire under Humayun.
