Question

Raziyya Sultan is considered as a unique ruler of the

Delhi Sultanate. Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Razia Sultan ruled from 1236 to 1240 after which she was dethroned as the nobility could not accept being ruled by a woman. She was an able administrator and was the first woman ruler of the Delhi Sultanate. Her rule was characterised by efficient law and order and she was said to have been very devoted to her subjects.
