Humayun, the Mughal emperor, had to flee India after his crushing defeat at Kannauj (Bilgram) in 1540. Humayun spent fifteen years in exile (1540–1555), wandering in Sindh, until he sought refuge with Shah Tahmasp I in Persia. Under the protection of Persia, Humayun succeeded in capturing Kandahar and Kabul, and in 1555, he defeated the Suris at Sirhind and regained his throne in Delhi.
