Razia al-Din (or: Razia Sultana, Radia, Radhia) (1205-1240) was an Indian ruler of the Mamluk dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate. She was the first and last Muslim lady ruler to have ruled India. A Persian historian called her brave, kind and just.[by whom?] She was the daughter of Iltumish. She ascended the throne in 1236 A.D. But the nobles who did not like to be ruled by Razia soon killed her in a war.[1] Her husband name was Malik Altuniya.
