5th monarch of the Delhi Sultanate
Razia al-Din (or: Razia Sultana, Radia, Radhia) (1205-1240) was an Indian ruler of the Mamluk dynasty (Delhi) of the Delhi Sultanate. She was the first and last Muslim lady to rule India. A Persian historian called her brave, kind and just. She was the daughter of Iltumish. She ascended the throne in 1236 A.D. But the nobles who did not like to be ruled by Razia soon killed her in a war.[1] Her husband name was Malik Altuniya.
