</div><div align="center">With Respect to Relations with Humayun
</div>

As usual, responding to PMs..!..

Will update this issue in detail later.
Updating now, <font color="#0000FF">only on basis of what i remember</font>.

BTW, Jalal has <font color="#0000FF">MANY reasons</font> to get UPSET by Sher Shah Suri's name.

*********************************************************************************************************

Sher Shah Suri established Sur Empire (1540-55) , after defeating Humayun.
A man of high administrative capability.
Did wonderful reforms - postal system, agriculture, administration, army, etc..

*********************************************************************************************************

Todar Mal served first under Sher Shah Suri.(died 1545)
Later, served as Akbar's Finance Minister.

*********************************************************************************************************

Both Sher Shah Suri and Humayun had<font color="#0000FF"> fought many battles</font>.

But, <font size="3">Battle of Chausa</font>, 26/27 June, 1539, WAS VERY serious for Humayun.

Not only he lost the battle, but lost something precious.!.

At this battle, on 27 June, Humayun lost his 8 year old daughter, Akika Sultan Begum, daughter of his favorite wife Begum Bega Sultan.😕 She was NEVER found.!

Humayun Nama, page143, records these words of Humayun --> "Why did I not kill her in my own presence?".😕 He was devastated..!...Still, this man fought.👏

Even his wife, Begum Bega Sultan, was captured, but Sher Shah Suri, kept her in high regard, and released her with honour and dignity. ( It is said so. )

Humayun fought HIS LEVEL BEST, but lost . Finally, escaped from battlefield. Swam across flooded Ganga river. And, then returned to Agra.

More than 7000 Mughal soldiers and the CREAM of nobles died, in this battle..!!

*********************************************************************************************************

Why was Jalal angry hearing Sher Shah Suri's name??

<font size="3">Probable</font> Reasons:

1. His father LOST Mughal Empire.
2. Went into exile.

<font color="#0000FF">3. Jalal lost his sister / Humayun lost his daughter.</font>

4. Also, Humayun had built a city called Dinpanah in Delhi, on banks of Yamuna, but it was destroyed by Sher Shah and he built his capital, Shergarh on it's place.!. Some sources say, he further developed the city. But, this clause does not holds any ground.!.

5. Mughals considered Sher Shah as "dhokebaaz/traitor". He attacked Humayun at night in the Battle of Chausa. { So, i mentioned dates as 26/27 June, 1539. }

Will update in detail later.
But, i feel, till then, you all, have got enough HINT, <font color="#0000FF">why Jalal was fuming with ANGER hearing, Sher Shah Suri's name</font>.!.

*********************************************************************************************************

This was a summary.
Though, Sher Shah and Humayun, fought many battles.
I am running short of time.
So, giving a short and concise update, for time being .!

I read somewhere that perhaps a learning disorder might have prevented Jalaluddin from learning the art of reading and writing. It looks convincing too, though I am not sure of its historical veracity. At a time, when ordinary people and even women were also taught to read and write, it is highly improbable that a future emperor was not trained for it. Or, perhaps, people who brought Jalal up did not want him to learn at all, for their own benefits.

Thanks,

Aksar Addicts bohot Dariya-Dil insaan hotey hai....😆😉 Becoz they are mostly in their own seventh Heaven...🤣 (NOM)
His fall too was largely due to the fact that his body-balance was severely affected by his habits...😒

But yes, he indeed was a very well versed person , as was his father Babur...it's a pity that his own son did not learn to read/write...😳

Regards,
Kamal
