It is amazing to see the rise of Shah Turkan from a slave girl to the favorite queen and the way she managed to wield so much power after the demise of her husband at a time when the Turkish nobles frowned upon women occupying places of power and had done their best initially to prevent Razia from becoming the Sultana.

What an extraordinary woman who used her intelligence, unfortunately, for the wrong reasons! She seems to have set a precedent for the likes of Maham Anga later on.

Great post! Thank you for this insightful post about one of the earliest women who wielded power in Delhi. :)
