Detailed explanation-1: -Razia Sultana (1236 − 1240) a ruler of the Delhi Sultanate was the first female Muslim ruler of South Asia. The nobles who supported her accession intended her to be a figurehead but she became a strong ruler. She rode elephants through Delhi like Sultans before her.
Detailed explanation-2: -But she was not accepted when she became a ruler. Those were the days when women were not allowed to enjoy independent identity. They were supposed to be subordinate to men. This led to her removal from the throne in 1240.
Detailed explanation-3: -Raziya Sultan was the daughter of Mamluk Sultan Iltutmish. She was a brave woman and a warrior. As she was more capable than all her brothers, her father Iltutmish nominated her as his successor. She ascended to the throne in 1236, thereby becoming the first woman ruler of the Delhi Sultanate.
