✓
Answer
After the death of Babar, his son ascended the throne of Delhi in $1530\ AD$.
Humayu means lucky, but he had to face many difficulties in his life.
Humayu had to fight against Sultan Bahadur Shah of Gujarat and Sher Shah, the powerful ruler of Bihar. Sher Shah defeated Humayu in the battle of Kannauj, so he escaped to Iran.
But a few years later, he invaded India again. In $1545\ AD$, Humayu conquered Kabul and Kandhar with the help of the emperor of Iran.
After that in $1555\ AD$ he re-established his rule over India.
Humayu was fond of reading and writing like his father. He established a town named Dinpanah near Delhi. He died after falling down the steps of the library during the evening prayer (in $1556\ AD$).
