Sher Shah Suri was a 16th century ruler of India who founded the Suri Empire. According to some historians, he made major improvements to India's infrastructure and administration systems during his short five year rule. However, upon closer examination, many of the claims about Sher Shah's accomplishments seem exaggerated or implausible given the limited time period of his reign. In particular, the idea that he built thousands of kilometers of roads connecting major cities appears unlikely, as some accounts were likely exaggerated by court chroniclers seeking to glorify their ruler. While Sher Shah was likely an able military leader and administrator, the extent of reforms attributed to him within a five year period may have been exaggerated in the historical record.
