Q. Between whom was the Battle of Chausa fought?
(a) Bahadur Shah of Gujarat and Humayun
(b) Humayun and Sher Khan
(c) Akbar and Rana Pratap
(d) Jehangir and Rana Amar Singh
Ans: (b) Humayun and Sher Khan
Explanation: The correct answer is (b) Humayun and Sher Khan.
The Battle of Chausa was fought between Humayun, the Mughal emperor, and Sher Khan (later known as Sher Shah Suri) in 1539. Sher Khan, who was a Pashtun warrior and the founder of the Sur Empire, challenged Humayun’s authority and aimed to establish his own rule. The battle took place near the town of Chausa, located in present-day Bihar, India. Sher Khan emerged victorious in the battle, leading to Humayun’s temporary loss of the Mughal Empire. However, Humayun later regained his power and defeated Sher Shah at the Battle of Bilgram in 1540, reclaiming his position as the Mughal emperor.
