2. Razia sultana was a brave, intelligent and
just woman ruler. Being a woman did not
deter her from fulfilling her work as the
ruler of the empire. She sat in an open
durbar and carried out its day-to-day
affairs. She dressed like a man and rode
elephants and horses. Raziyya Sultan was
removed from the throne in 1240 CE,
because people during the age were not
comfortable having a queen as a ruler.
They regarded women to be inferior to
men and hence not fit to rule over the
people. Razia were forced to retreat to
Kaithal, where they were deserted by
their soldiers, and were killed by a group
of Robbers. Razia was killed on 15
October 1240.

father upon his death. As the second sultan of the Tughluq dynasty, he
was successful in extending the rule of the Delhi sultanate of northern
India over most of the subcontinent though only for a brief period. As
the eldest son of the sultan, it is believed that he was groomed for
succession from a young age. Even though little is known about his early
years, there is enough proof to suggest that he received a high quality
education and training in military administration and martial arts. He
was a brave young man and started displaying his prowess as a warrior
even before ascending the throne. During the reign of his father he was
sent to the city of Warangal in the Deccan to subdue a rebellion by Hindu
rajas which he successfully did. As the sultan he had to contend with
several rebellions and revolts throughout his reign. He was an enigmatic
personality, with contradictory characteristics—while he was known to a
cruel and ruthless ruler, he also earned a reputation for being a
religiously tolerant and humble leader
