Years: 1532 - 1532
Afghan warrior Farid Khan, a horse breeder’s son who had begun his military career as a private in the army of Jamal Khan, the governor of Jaunpur, soon proved to be a brave and brilliant leader.
He had accompanied Babur from Kabul to victory in India.
Later, while in the service of the Mughal king of Bihar, he had been awarded the title Sher Khan, Sher meaning "tiger."
Humayun picks a quarrel with Sher Khan, governor of the vassal Bihar state, by failing to capture his fortress at Chunar in 1532, thus earning Sher Khan’s undying rivalry.
