Gommans also details practical and tech- 20111 nological aspects of combat, such as gunpowder technologies and the 1 animals used in battle. His comparative analysis throws new light on much- 2 contested theories of gunpowder empires and the spread of the military 3 revolution. 4 As the ﬁrst original analysis of Mughal warfare for almost a century, this 5 will make essential reading for military specialists, students of military history 6 and general Asian history. 7 8 Jos Gommans teaches Indian history at the Kern Institute of Leiden 9 University in the Netherlands.

Sher Shah Suri
MODULE-3 FORMATION OF MUGHAL EMPIRE TOPIC- SHER SHAH SURI PRIYANKA.E.K ASSISTANT PROFESSOR DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY LITTLE FLOWER COLLEGE, GURUVAYOOR Sher Shah Suri, whose original name was Farid was the founder of the Suri dynasty. Son of a petty jagirdar, neglected by his father and ill treated by his step-mother, he very successfully challenged the authority of Mughal emperor Humayun, drove him out of India and occupied the throne of Delhi. All this clearly demonstrates his extra-ordinary qualities of his hand, head and heart. Once again Sher Shah established the Afghan Empire which had been taken over by Babur. The intrigues of his mother compelled the young Farid Khan to leave Sasaram (Bihar), the jagir of his father. He went to Jaunpur for studies. In his studies, he so distinguished himself that the subedar of Jaunpur was greatly impressed. He helped him to become the administrator of his father’s jagir which prospered by his efforts. His step-mother’s jealousy forced him to search for another employment and he took service under Bahar Khan, the ruler of South Bihar, who gave him the title of Sher Khan for his bravery in killing a tiger single-handed. But the intrigues of his enemies compelled him to leave Bihar and join the camp of Babur in 1527. He rendered valuable help to Babur in the campaign against the Afghans in Bihar. In due course, Babur became suspicious of Sher Khan who soon slipped away. As his former master Bahar Khan, the ruler of South Bihar had died, he was made the guardian and regent of the minor son of the deceased.

This powerful dynasty holds up the same value in medieval history like Safavids and Ottoman dynasty. Babur, the ruler of Fargana was founder of Mughal Empire in India. His life was full of struggling and disturbance. Even he captured Samarqand for two times but could not stay there for more than hundred days and he lost his native land too. But he never bowed in front of the circumstances nor did he give up. He stood up again to change his destiny with his limited source and this time his eye was on Hindustan. The victory over Kabul set the plot to conquer the Hindustan. He attacked on Hindustan and finally captured on 21 April, 1526 A.D. after defeating Ibrahim, the Lodi king at the first battle of Panipat. This remarkable victory opened the door of immense possibilities for him and his successors. But after his death, his son Emperor Humayun had lost his Empire after defeating by Sher Shah, the great Emperor of Sur dynasty in 1540 A.D.

Battle of Ghagra.Docx
Battle of Ghagra The Battle of Ghaghra, fought in 1529, was a major battle for the conquest of India by the Mughal Empire. It followed the first Battle of Panipat in 1526 and the Battle of Khanwa in 1527. It was fought between Mughal forces under Babur against the Sultanate of Bengal under Sultan Nusrat Shah. This article will give details about the Battle of Ghaghra within the context of the IAS Exam. Background of the Battle of Ghagra Mahmud Lodi, brother of the erstwhile Sultan Ibrahim Lodi, had declared himself the rightful heir of the Delhi Sultanate following the death of his brother at the second Battle of Panipat in 1526. His claim was however jeopardised following his defeat and flight at the Battle of Khanwa in 1527. Mahmud Lodi sought and received the help of his Afghan kinsmen in the east. His forces consisting of Eastern Afghan Confederates took Bihar. The death of Sultan Mahmud Shah Lohani, the Pathan king of Bihar, his minor son Jalal ud-Din Lohani was placed on the throne. However, conflict arose between his mother Dudu and another noble Farid Khan, better known as Sher Shah Suri. The bitter infighting between the Lohani nobles distracted them from the oncoming armies of Babur, forcing the young prince to take refuge in the nearby sultanate of Bengal To prevent a total collapse of the state, the Afghans of Jaunpur invited Mahmud Lodi to ascend the throne of Bihar and Janpur. It was accepted and he managed to take over most of Bihar without opposition. Upon receiving the news of developments in Bihar, Babur decided to march there with his army and reached the banks of the river Ganges at Dadaki on February 27, 1529 where he was met by his son Humayun and general Askari.
