Razia Sultan was the first and only female ruler of the Delhi Sultanate in India, reigning from 1236 to 1240. She ascended to the throne after the death of her father, Sultan Iltutmish, who recognized her capabilities and appointed her as his successor, defying the traditional norms that favored male heirs. Razia was known for her administrative skills and efforts to promote justice and equality, challenging gender roles of her time. Her reign, though short-lived, marked a significant moment in Indian history for female leadership.
