	The '''Battle of Sirhind''' was fought between the [[Mughal Empire]] and the [[Suri Empire]] in 1555.		{{Not to be confused with\|Battle of Chappar Chiri\|Siege of Sirhind\|Battle of Sirhind (1764)}}
			The '''Battle of Sirhind''' was fought between the [[Mughal Empire]] and the [[Sur Empire]] in 1555.

			==Background==
			Humayun had been in exile for 15 years after being forced to flee by [[Sher Shah Suri]], a Pashtun commander who had taken control of the Mughal territories. During his exile, Humayun spent time in Persia where he was exposed to Persian high culture and military technology. This exposure gave him valuable insight into administration, politics, and warfare, which would later serve him well in his quest to reclaim his empire. After defeating his brothers in Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, Humayun was able to solidify his hold over the region and return to India, where he successfully recaptured Babur's former capital of Delhi and reestablished the [[Mughal Empire]].{{cn\|date=March 2026}}

			After the death of [[Islam Shah Suri]], the [[Suri Empire]] had erupted in a civil war where various contenders to the throne fought each other for supremacy. [[Sikandar Shah Suri]] was occupied with his struggle against [[Ibrahim Shah Suri]] when [[Humayun]] mobilized an army from [[Kabul]]. He captured [[Rohtas Fort]] and [[Lahore]] in February 1555. Another detachment of his forces captured [[Dipalpur]], [[Gurdaspur]] and [[Jalandhar]]. Their advanced division proceeded towards [[Sirhind]]. Sikandar sent a force of 30,000 to intercept them but they were defeated by the [[Mughal Army]] in the [[Battle at Machhiwara\|Battle of Machhiwara]] and Sirhind was occupied by the Mughals.<ref> Majumdar, R.C.
