Answers
Answer:
He is very kind and great ruler because he won many wars
Explanation:
Was Sher Shah Suri one of the greatest rulers of India?
Yes. He can surely be counted among the greatest of rulers from India, at par with Chandragupta Maurya and Ashoka the Great.
He laid the foundation of road network in India that is followed to this day. The Grand Trunk Road, now known as NH1, connected the East and West of the Indian Subcontinent, right across Bangladesh to Afghanistan. Yes, the road did exist during the Mauryan times, but in the 1000-odd years since the demise of the Mauryan Empire and the reign of Sher Shah Suri, not a single ruler thought of extending the road or repairing it. Sheh Shah Suri did.
He standardised the rupee and the coin system.
He also carried out land reforms that were later incorporated by the Mughals, the British and the present-day Indian govt.
He was a ruler far ahead of times and gave India a system in his seven-year reign that is still followed today.
