History books are riddled with tales of Great Men. Their feats often aggrandized by chroniclers who sought favour with their patrons. What’s less common are leaders’ whose accomplishments haven’t been sufficiently accounted for. The 16th century Afghan ruler of Hindustan Sher Shah Suri is an excellent example of this. His brief reign as the supreme sovereign of northern India is often remembered as being an interregnum between Mughal rule in the subcontinent. But such a judgement is harsh and unfair; for it leaves us ignorant to the wide scope of social and economic reforms he made, which the Mughals gratefully inherited upon their return to power.
