Raziye Sultan, also known as Raziyya Sultana, was the first and only female ruler of the Delhi Sultanate in India, reigning from 1236 to 1240. She was the daughter of Sultan Iltutmish and is known for her efforts to break gender norms by taking on the responsibilities of leadership traditionally reserved for men. Raziye's rule was marked by her attempts to promote meritocracy and establish a more inclusive administration, but she faced significant resistance from the nobility. Her reign ultimately ended in conflict, leading to her overthrow and subsequent disappearance from historical records.
