The Battle of Kannauj (also known as the Battle of Bilgram) fought in 1540, was a decisive conflict that reshaped medieval Indian history. This battle marked the second major defeat of Mughal emperor Humayun at the hands of the Afghan leader Sher Shah Suri. Despite Mughal artillery and cavalry, Humayun’s army suffered from poor coordination, internal rivalry, and weak discipline, while Sher Shah executed a well-planned strategy using terrain advantage, swift flanking attacks, and disciplined troop movements. The crushing Mughal defeat forced Humayun to flee across the Yamuna and allowed Sher Shah Suri to firmly establish the Sur Empire, ushering in one of the most efficient administrative systems in Indian history. The Battle of Kannauj is widely regarded as the turning point that temporarily ended Mughal rule in North India.
