Sher Khan never reconciled himself to the loss of Afghan sovereignty over India to the Mughals. Abbas Khan, the Afghan historian, states, 'Sher Khan was present during the affair of Chanderi, and remained for sometime amongst the Mughals, and acquainted himself with their military arrangements, their modes of governing, and the character of their nobles. He often said among the Afghans, "If luck aided me, and fortune stood my friend, I could easily oust the Mughals from Hindustan. They are not superior to the Afghans in battle or single combat; but the Afghans have let the empire of Hind slip from their hands, on account of their internal dissensions."'
