Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Razia had to face many challenges from powerful nobles who were not willing to accept a woman as a ruler. The Turkish nobles wanted a puppet ruler who could govern according to their wishes. Razia however was not willing to rule according to their desires.
Detailed explanation-2: -Razia was the first and only woman to rule over the Sultanate in 1236. She was hated by the nobles as they resented a woman ruling them. She did not follow the Purdah system. Muslim women of that time were not allowed to move around without a Purdah i.e a veil.
