Explanation: Humayun was defeated in Chausa War by Sher Khan (Sher Shah Suri) on June 26, 1539. During the period Humayun divided his army into two parts and ordered Askari to take charge of the first division and proceed ahead. One of the divisions was under his personal command marched a few miles behind. The two divisions joined at Munger, and here, contrary to the advice of his seasoned officers, Humayun crossed the Ganga to its southern bank and took the old Grand Trunk Road, which was thoroughly under Sher Khan’s control, towards Agra. This move of Humayun considered as a great mistake. The vigilant Afghan scouts regularly communicated to their master the movements of the Mughals army. It was the blunder on the part of Humayun which enabled Sher Khan to decide upon an open contest with him. The emperor, however, could not keep to the GT Road and near Bihiya he was obliged to cross the Ganga back to its northern bank.
