Sur ghat in Delhi

The Sur ghat is loacted at wazirabad.wonder where it got this name? has the name come from sur dynasty?


The Sur was the Afghan dynasty that ruled northern India (1540-56), founded by Sher Shah Sur (r.1540-45), who won great victories at Chausa (1539) and Kananj (1540) and drove the Mughals from Delhi.

After the death o...f Selim Shah (r.1545-53) the dynasty fractured through succession disputes, allowing Humayun to reconquer Delhi.
