Grand-daughter of Qutub-ud-din Aibak, and
daughter of Shams-ud-din Illtumish, Razia was born a princess like many
other nameless and countless girls born around her every day. But,
there was a fire in her, which in the years to come would make her an
extraordinary ruler and a fearsome warrior. Razia Sultan is the story of
the first woman Sultan of India and the only woman to have successfully
ruled and unified the Mamluks - a fierce and extremely vicious race of
men for whom violence was second nature.
