Razia Sultan, the first and only female ruler of the Delhi Sultanate (1236-1240), is remembered for her courage and vision in a male-dominated era.
As the daughter of Iltutmish, she was chosen to lead due to her intelligence and administrative skills. Her reign, though short, was marked by progressive reforms, challenging the traditional norms of her time.
Razia's untimely death in battle reflected the turbulent politics of medieval India.
Today, her architectural legacy, though limited, can be seen in her modest tomb in Old Delhi, a symbol of her enduring presence in Indian history.
