HUMAYUN
Nasir-ud-Din Muḥammad [1] (Persian: نصیرالدین محمد, romanized: Nasīr-ad-Dīn Muhammad; 6 March 1508 - 27 January 1556), best known by his royal name, Humayun (Persian: همایون, romanized: Humāyūn), he was the second ruler of the Mughal Empire, who ruled the territory in what is now Afghanistan, Pakistan, Northern India, and Bangladesh from 1530 to 1540 and from 1555 to 1556. Like his father, Babur, he lost his empire early but regained it with the help of the kings of Safavid of Persia, who had more territory. At his death in 1556, the Mughal Empire covered almost one million square miles [1 million sq km].

In December 1530, Humayun succeeded his father on the throne in Delhi as ruler of the Mughal territories in the Indian subcontinent. Humayun was an inexperienced ruler when he began his reign, at the age of 22. His younger brother Kamran Mirza discovered Kabul and Kandahar, the northern parts of his father's empire. Kamran would be Humayun's bitter rival.
Humayun lost Mughal land to Sher Shah Suri, but regained it 15 years later with the help of Safavid. Humayun's return to Persia was accompanied by a large number of Persian officials and marked a significant cultural change in the Mughal court. The origins of the empire of Central Asia were largely obscured by the influence of Persian art, architecture, language, and literature. There are many stone carvings and thousands of Persian manuscripts in India that date back to the time of Humayun.
Thereafter, Humayun further extended the empire in a very short time, leaving behind a great legacy of his son, Akbar.
