Explanation

Razia Sultan (Razia Begum) was the first and only female ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, ruling from 1236-1240 CE. She defied gender norms by adopting masculine attire, leading armies, and administering justice personally, though her reign faced opposition from nobles uncomfortable with a woman ruler.
