Question
Write in brief about the rise and fall of Razia Sultan.
Solution
Razia was brave, intelligent, and possessed all the royal qualities. She dressed like a man and used to sit in the open darbar to transact business. She even rode horses. She was a talented woman and regarded the welfare of her subjects as an essential duty.
There was chaos and disorder in the country when Razia came to the throne. But being an able ruler, she put the things in order. She was a wise, just, and benevolent ruler. She became the true leader of her armies.
But some nobles did not like to be ruled by a woman. She favoured a slave called Yakut and this was one of the causes of her abrupt fall.
