Suri Empire

The Suri Empire was a significant historical empire in India, established in the 16th century by Sher Shah Suri after he defeated the Mughal emperor Humayun. Its capital was at Delhi, and it lasted from 1540 to 1555. Sher Shah is known for major administrative reforms, including a standardized currency and an efficient system of roads, which improved trade and communication. The empire also emphasized architecture, evident in the construction of the Grand Trunk Road and the iconic tomb of Sher Shah. Although short-lived, the Suri Empire set the groundwork for later Mughal administration and infrastructure developments.
