Razia Sultan

Grand-daughter of Qutub-ud-din Aibak, and daughter of Shams-ud-din Illtumish, Razia was born a princess like many other nameless and countless girls born around her every day. But, there was a fire in her, which in the years to come would make her an extraordinary ruler and a fearsome warrior. Razia Sultan is the story of the first woman Sultan of India and the only woman to have successfully ruled and unified the Mamluks – a fierce and extremely vicious race of men for whom violence was second nature.
