History
Mughal Emperor Humayun aur Afghan leader Sher Shah Suri ke beech Bengal aur Bihar ke control ko lekar rivalry badh rahi thi. Jab Humayun ne Bengal (Gaur) par kabza kar liya aur wapas laut raha tha, toh Sher Shah Suri ne raste mein Chausa ke paas Mughal army par achanak hamla karne ki poori tayyari kar li thi taaki unka rasta roka ja sake.
26 June 1539 ko Chausa mein dono senaon ka aamna-saamna hua. Sher Shah ne ek smart strategic move chalte hue pehle Mughals ko aage aane diya aur monsoon ke samay rainy season ka fayda uthate hue achanak ratri/subah mein dhokhe se hamla kar diya. Mughal sena fass gayi aur panic create ho gaya. Jaan bachane ke liye Humayun ko khud Ganga nadi mein koodna pada jahan ek paani pilane wale (Nizam water-carrier/Bhisti) ne apni mashak ki sahayta se unki jaan bachai.
Is yuddh mein Sher Shah Suri ki shandar jeet hui aur Humayun बुरी tarah haar gaya. Jeet ke baad Sher Shah ne 'Sher Shah' ki padavi ke sath 'Suri' dynasty ki neev ko aur majboot kiya aur 'Farid-ud-Din Sher Shah' ke roop mein sikke bhi chalaye. Humayun apni jaan bachakar Agra bhagne mein kaamyaab raha.
Jis bhisti (Nizam) ne Ganga nadi mein doobte hue Humayun ki jaan bachai thi, khushi mein Humayun ne use ek din ke liye Delhi ka Badshah (King for a day) banaya tha, aur usne uss din "leather coins" (chamde ke sikke) bhi chalaye the!
