Sher Shah Suri and the Grand Trunk Road
Om avsnittet
Long before the Mughals, a remarkable Afghan ruler named Sher Shah Suri wrested control of Bengal from the crumbling Suri Empire and left an indelible mark on the subcontinent. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Sher Shah's ambitious infrastructure projects—including the rebuilding of the Grand Trunk Road—his land tax reforms that later inspired Akbar, and his brief but transformative reign over Bengal. They also discuss his patronage of Bengali culture, his construction of the historic Sonargaon mint, and the enduring legacy of his administrative genius. From the battlefields of Chausa to the bustling markets of modern-day Bangladesh, this episode reveals how Sher Shah Suri's innovations shaped the region for centuries.
