As a king Humayun proved to be a failure. Humayun could not retain control over his Sultanate and soon lost to Sher Shah Suri, an Afgan leader born in India in very humble family. Sher who had rendered a valuable service to Babur in his military campaign, rapidly rose in ranks and eventually became a ruler of Bihar.

He soon defeated Humayun at Chaunsa near Buxar in 1539 and took control of Delhi and whole of Gangetic plaines till Bengal. He died in 1545 in an accident caused by explosion of gunpowder. Sher was an architect of brilliant administrative system, where he revived the traditional features of old administrative system of Hindu kings. He built the Grand trunk road (which still survives) from Sonargaon in Bangladesh to Indus in modern Pakistan. He showed religious tolerance towards the Hindus thus helping him to strengthen his empire.

The currency, `Rupee or Rupaya' became popular during the reign of Sher which is still in use in many countries including India, Nepal, Shri Lanka, Pakistan and Indonesia. The word Rupee is derived from Sanskrit word Roop which means Silver.
