Sher Shah Suri

Sher Shah Suri (1486 - May 22, 1545)

His birth name Farid Khan, also known as Sher Khan (The Lion King), was an Afghan emperor who founded the Suri dynasty with its capital at Delhi in India. He first served as a noble before rising to become a commander in the Mughal Army under Babur and then as the governor of Bihar. In 1537, when Babur's son Humayun was elsewhere on an expedition, Sher Khan overran the state of Bengal and established the Suri Empire. A brilliant strategist, Sher Shah proved himself a gifted administrator as well as an able general. His reorganization of the empire laid the foundations for the later Mughal emperors, notably Akbar, son of Humayun.

During his five-year rule from 1540 to 1545, be set up a new template for civic and military administration, issued the first Rupee and reorganized the postal system of India. He further developed Humayun's Dina-panah city, named it Shergarh, and revived the historical city of Pataliputra as Patna, which had been in decline since the 7th century CE. He is also famously remembered for killing a fully-grown tiger with his bare hands in a jungle of Bihar.
