Sher Shah was the son of Hasan Khan, a jagidar, of Sasaram in Bihar.
His original name was Farid Khan.
He was given the title of Sher Khan after he single-handedly killed a tiger.
He joined the Mughal army when Babur invaded India and learnt the techniques of Mughal warfare.
Taking advantage of the political instability following Babur's death Sher Khan established his authority in Bihar and Bengal.
