Sher khan defeated Humayun in the battle of Chausa and Kanauj and forced him to flee to _______.

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Iran.
· Sher Khan, also known as Sher Shah Suri, was a powerful Afghan ruler who defeated Humayun, the Mughal emperor, in two crucial battles: the Battle of Chausa (1539) and the Battle of Kanauj (1540).
· After these defeats, Humayun was forced to flee from India and sought refuge in Iran (Persia) under the protection of the Safavid Empire, which was ruled by Shah Tahmasp I at the time.
· Sher Khan’s victory led to the establishment of the Suri Empire, and Humayun remained in exile in Iran for several years before eventually regaining the Mughal throne in 1555.
Additional Information:
· Sher Shah Suri is known for his administrative reforms, such as the introduction of the currency system, road network (especially the Grand Trunk Road), and taxation policies.
· Humayun later returned to India with the help of the Persians, defeating the forces of the Suri Empire to reclaim the Mughal throne.
