Mughals-Humayun

Humayun was brought into this world on “6th March 1508” in Kabul. Humayun was the child of Babar, commonly known as “Timurid Mughal emperor”. He was civilized, trained, and erudite in warfare. Humayun had taken part in multiple battles namely, the battle of Khanwa and Panipat along with his father. Humayun also assisted in the system of the spots of Sambhal, Hisar Firuza, and Badakhshan. Humayun floated up at 1530 on 30th December, after Babar’s demise. Humayun bespoke huge chunks of the territory to his brothers. Kamran received Kandahar and kabul. Askari received Hiondal and Sambhal.

Humayun and wily Afghan

Humayun commenced the first invasion after his Accession. “Prataprudra Deo”, the governor of fortress city in “kalinjur” was known to be commiserating to the “Afghans”, those who were known as “old foes” of the multiple Mughals. Humayun established a siege of “Kalinjur” in 1531. Before Humayun could lay his grasp on the town, the “Afghans” who were under “Sher Shah Suri” ambushed the “fort of Chunar”. Mahmud Lodhi the nephew of “Ibrahim Lodhi” was also threatening Jaunpur. Seeing the territory in difficulty, Humayun prepared a hasty agreement with “Prataprudra” and after recuperating a few indemnifications for the expenses of the war, he refined to counter multiple Afghanis. Humayun very forcibly subdued their respective leader commonly known as “Mahmud Lodhi”, compelling him to run away from the battleground of Dauharia. After this, Humayun tried to ensnare the “fort of Chunar”. In the meantime Bahadur Shah, another “Afghan ruler” was making several attempts to occupy Rajasthan. Bahadur Shah was keeping contact with Nusrat Shah and “Sher Shah Suri” to defeat Humayun by any means. “Bahadur Shah” had reinforced the warriors and had accumulated a powerful “artillery arm” under the advice of one Turkish gunner namely, Rumi Khan.

Losing the empire

Humayun was concurrently getting worried to resolve scores along with “Bahadur Shah”. Humayun first occupied Malwa. In the meantime, “Bahadur Shah” was plundering Chittor. Humayun was heading towards Mandsaur in “Chittoor” and then combining his respective position in Mandsaur, circling it secretly. During the time “Bahadur Shah” neared Mandsaur to check “Humanyun”, the forces of “Humayun” cut all the supply routes of Bahadur Shah. The army of Bahadur Shah lost its confidence and surrendered. Bahadur Shah managed to steal away but the forces of Humayun up to “Cambay” chased him. After this “Humayun” left pursuing “Bahadur Shah” to his respective generals and headed towards occupying another fort which was situated at Champaner. The whole of Gujarat and Malwa were under the control of Humayun. Then he destined his brother commonly known as Akshara as the “governor” of Gujarat and he left for “Mandu” in Malwa to control its multiple affairs. Both the blood brothers were confirmed within one year of the winning of the Mughals and lost Malwa and Gujarat.

The Bengali threat

When “Humayun” was fighting with “Bahadur Shah”, the “Afghan” leader “Sher Shah Suri” was occupying his respective location in Bihar. As “Sher Shah Suri” was already known as the ringmaster of the fort of Chunar, a huge population of Afghan nobles assembled under him. “Nusrat Shah” the governor of West Bengal had passed away and his heir “Mahmud Shah” was unsuccessful. After this “Sher Shah Suri” snatched his chance and annexed and captured West Bengal. he attacked the fort of Chunar and occupied it after several efforts of six months. Then he headed towards Bengal and occupied that also. Again “Humayun” wasted his valuable span in West Bengal. His vacillation proved “very expensive” for him. “Sher Shah Suri” utilized that time to re-establish and then found a new approach for capturing Kara, Sambhal, and Benaras. In the meantime the brother of Humayun, Hindal proclaimed himself as an emperor at Agra. Therefore, Humayun had to retire from West Bengal to tackle Hindal. “Sher Shah Suri” again took action into his respective Bengal shoes that were resulting in taking jurisdiction there.

Exile and return

“Humayun” was to endure in banishment for the upcoming fifteen years. King Virsala was giving protection to Humayun and it was rumored that “King Virsala ” got married to “Hamida Banu ”. By now he retired to his ultimate fate as banishment and for safety as well for his household. After this Humayun headed for Lahore for Kamran and proclaimed himself as the King of “Afghanistan” with the assessment of Askari. Kamran declined to entertain “Humayun” but Askari consented to take care of the son of Humayun on the fact of Humayun leaving Lahore. Shortly eventually with the assistance of “Tamalash”, he was capable of inaugurating a “fresh bid” for returning to potentiality in India. Typical of Humayun’s nature he pardoned his brothers but banished them to “Mecca”. 

Conclusion

Humayun’s rule is considered to be one of the important chapters of Indian History. He was deeply defeated. He was dropped back to Agra, chased by “Sher Shah Suri” and from there on via Delhi to the adjoining district of Pakistan, Lahore. Sher Shah’s establishment of the “short-lived” Sur Kingdom, with all its money at Delhi, brought about the exile of Humayun in the “Court of Law” of “Shah Tahmasp” for fifteen consecutive years.
