Razia's ascension to the throne of Delhi was unique not only because she was a woman, but also because the support from the general public was the driving force behind her appointment.

As sultan, Razia wore a man's tunic and crown; and in opposition to custom, she would later demonstrate her face when she rode an elephant in fight as the leader of her armed force.
