Write a short note on Razia Sultana.
Answers
Razia Sultana was the daughter of Shams-ud-din Iltutmish, who had begun life as a Turk slave and ended it as Sultan of Delhi. Iltutmish had been a great favorite of his master, Qutb ud-din Aibak, the first Sultan of Delhi, and had been married to his only daughter Qutb Begum (or also known as Turkan Khatun), who gave birth to Razia. She had her own brother named Nasiruddin Mahmud. Razia being a member of the ruling family, grew up in privileged circumstances and was close to the levers of power both within the harem (where her mother was dominant) and in the court, where she was a favorite of both her maternal grandfather and her father. This was in contrast with her half-brothers Rukn ud-din Firuz, and Muiz ud-din Bahram who were the sons of former slave-girls, and thus grew up quite distant from the centers of power.
Razia Sultan (1205-1240) was the first woman who ruled India. She was the daughter of the Delhi Sultan Iltutmish. Razia possessed remarkable talents. As a queen, she displayed her virtue ore prominently. Some of the nobles could not reconcile themselves to the rule of a woman. She soon overpowered her enemies.
Razia was fully devoted to her empire and to her subjects. She was killed along with her husband by her brother. Thus life of Razia ended miserably after the reign of three years and a few months.
