Question 3

Identify the following terms.
-Humayun

Accepted Answer

Humayun was a prominent historical figure who played a significant role in the establishment and expansion of the Mughal Empire in the Indian subcontinent. Born on March 6, 1508, he was the second emperor of the Mughal dynasty, succeeding his father, Babur, who was the founder of the empire.

Humayun's reign was marked by a series of challenges, including internal dissent and external threats. He ascended to the throne in 1530 after the death of his father. However, his rule was not stable, as he faced opposition from his brothers and was challenged by the Afghan ruler Sher Shah Suri. In 1540, Humayun was defeated by Sher Shah Suri and was forced into exile.

During his time in exile, Humayun spent several years in Persia, where he received the support of the Safavid Shah, Shah Tahmasp I. With Persian assistance, Humayun was able to regain his empire in 1555, after the death of Sher Shah Suri and the subsequent weakening of the Suri dynasty.

Unfortunately, Humayun's second chance to rule was short-lived. He died in an accidental fall down the stairs of his library in 1556, just a few months after regaining his throne. His son, Akbar, succeeded him and went on to become one of the greatest emperors in Indian history, expanding the Mughal Empire to its zenith.

Humayun's legacy includes his efforts to consolidate the Mughal Empire and his patronage of the arts and architecture. The Humayun's Tomb in Delhi, commissioned by his widow Hamida Banu Begum and designed by the Persian architect Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, is one of the earliest examples of Mughal architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It set a precedent for subsequent Mughal architecture, including the Taj Mahal.
