Sher Shah Suri: The Afghan Emperor Who Built Grand Trunk Road
Om avsnittet
In this episode of The History of Bangladesh, Lucas and Luna explore the life and legacy of Sher Shah Suri, the Afghan chieftain who defeated the Mughals and ruled northern India from 1540 to 1545. They discuss his early career under the Mughals, his rebellion against Humayun, and his decisive victory at the Battle of Chausa. Sher Shah is remembered for his administrative reforms: he introduced the silver rupee coin, built the Grand Trunk Road from Bengal to the Indus, and established a robust land revenue system that later inspired the British. The episode also covers his patronage of the Bengali language and his construction of the Qila-i-Kuhna Mosque in Delhi. Lucas and Luna examine how Sher Shah's short reign shaped the economic and cultural life of Bengal, leaving a lasting imprint on the subcontinent.
