Sultana Razia

Sultana Razia, also known as Razia Sultana, was a prominent historical figure who ruled as the Sultan of Delhi in the 13th century, from 1236 to 1240. She is notable for being one of the few female rulers in Islamic history. Razia broke gender norms of her time by taking on leadership roles traditionally held by men, demonstrating intelligence and political acumen. Her reign focused on administrative reforms and promoting trade. However, she faced significant opposition and was ultimately overthrown. Razia's legacy remains significant as a symbol of female empowerment in a male-dominated society.
