Razia fought a battle against Bahram because

Directions: Read the passage and answer the following question.

Razia Sultan was the first woman who ruled medieval India, during the Muslim empire. Razia Sultan’s original name was Razia-al-Din. Her throne name was Jalalat-ud-Din Razia. She preferred to be called as Razia Sultan, as Sultana was a feminine title. Razia succeeded her father, Shams-ud-din-Iltutmish, to the Sultanate of Delhi in 1236. While his sons were enjoying youth, Razia was actively participating in the administrative matters of the kingdom. Once, when Iltutmish was busy with the siege of Gwalior, he had entrusted the governance of Delhi to Razia. On his return, he was very much impressed by the way Razia had run the empire. At that very moment, he declared Razia as his heir. It was the will of the king that after his death, Razia, his daughter, should succeed the throne. But the Muslim people were not happy with this decision. When Iltutmish died, Rukn-ud-din Firuz, one of his sons, usurped the throne and ruled for about 7 months. Rukn-ud-din wasted all, after he got the control and the throne. The Muslim nobility with reluctance agreed to allow Razia to rule the empire. She was an efficient and bold Sultan, working for the betterment of the empire, but like her father, most of her time in her short three years reign was spent in fighting rebellions. She had personally led the army to many places like Punjab and Multan.
She also had many controversies on her name. It was supposed that she had feelings for one of her advisers, Jamal-ud-Din Yaqut, an Abyssinian Siddi slave.
In her battle with Altunia in Bhatinda, Yaqut was killed and Razia was taken into prison. There she decided to marry Altunia. In her absence, Razia’s brother Muizuddin Bahram Shah took over the throne. After Razia married Altunia, they had a battle with Bahram to take back the empire. Both Razia and Altunia were defeated in the battle (Oct.1240). Both of them fled to Delhi and on reaching Kaithal, the remaining forces abandoned them. They both fell into the hand of the Jatts and were robbed and killed.
Controversies did not leave Razia’s side even after her death. There are three claims regarding her grave.The first claim is that her grave is in Old Delhi, in Bulbul-i-khana, Shahjahanabad. Haryana also claims to have a tomb of Razia in Kaithal. The third and the most recent of all claims is that her African slave’s paramour is buried at Tonk in Rajasthan.
However, there is an agreement about her bravery, her struggle and her undaunted spirit which have been preserved in the pages of history forever.
