Razia - The Sultan : Hardback

In the distant past, from the era of the early Middle Ages, during the Mamluk Dynasty reign in Hindustan, a remarkable woman emerged from the shadows. In an era dominated by men in positions of power, where the empire stretched from parts of modern-day Afghanistan to present-day Bangladesh, she shattered societal norms and rules. She not only exhibited exceptional administrative acumen but also led her armies in challenging battles. Defying the religious and social conventions of the time to rise to the highest office of the sultanate, we dive into the multifaceted life she led in a sweet span of 35 years, including her short yet remarkable reign of a bit less than 4 years. The lady was a daughter, a sister, a lover, a wife, and above all, she was the first woman to be crowned as the Sultan in a strictly orthodox dynasty. She was Raziyyat-Ud-Dunya Wa Ud-Din; she was Razia Sultan.
