“We didn’t even know that this award (Malala award by UN) is of great importance. Though ignorant about the importance of the award, Razia’s father, Ferman, was overwhelmed with the honour bestowed on his daughter. I admitted 48 students, who were earlier working as labourers, to schools,” said Razia Sultan. “Being a leader of the children in my village, I tried to solve the problems of the schools and the children. Interacting with media, Razia said she has transformed the lives of 48 children trapped in child labour. They fought bravely but were defeated and taken prisoners on Octoboth of them were beheaded the next day.In her new role, she encouraged other children in her village to join schools. Both of them made a last bid to recover Delhi from the hands of the rebels. So Razia exploited the situation and befriended him and later married him. Altunia was antagonized towards the nobility of Delhi, as he was not given any desired authority. The people of Delhi, in spite of their love for Razia, could do nothing against the Turkish nobles because there was none to lead the public movement. The conspirators put Razia’s brother, Behram to the throne and appointed themselves to all the high offices of the state. Yakut fell into the hands of conspirators in Delhi and was put to death. She straight away moved towards Bathinda, but was defeated and was taken prisoner by Altunia. Within a fortnight of this incident, Razia received the news of revolt, raised by Altunia, the governor of Bathinda. However, the rebel later apologized and was given back the governorship of Multan and the province of Lahore was taken out of his control. Razia as having a loyal and strong army at her command gave a crushing defeat to the rebel. Kabir Khan Ayaz, the governor of Multan and Lahore raised a standard of revolt merely on the issue of the alleged intimacy between Razia and Yakut which was derogatory to the pride of Turks. During the reign of Razia, many revolts took place time to time, but were gallantly suppressed by Razia Sultana. This issue declined the popularity of Razia to some extent, but it could not serve the interests of nobility. She was accused of having illicit relations with Yakut.

For this they used a tactic and tried to make a scandal of her with the Abyssinian slave, Jalaluddin Yakut whom she had promoted amir akhur (master of the royal stable). The selfish Turkish nobles, wanted to disgrace Razia in the eyes of people. She reshuffled many provincial governors and sent new officers to take charge of the important Iqtas. In order to break the monopoly of power of the Turkish nobles, she began to offer high offices to capable non- Turks as well. Khwaja Muhazzabuddin, previously the naib wazir under Rukhnuddin, was promoted to be the wazir. She rewarded those who had stood by her, and gave rapid promotions to her favorites. She refused to fall under the dominating influence of the Shamsi nobles.

Razia strengthened her position as an independent ruler. She proved to be the first and last Sultan of Delhi. Razia’s reign lasted about three years and a half. The unpopularity and incompetence of Rukhnuddin afforded her an opportunity to emerge from behind the veil. After the death of Iltutmish, Razia’s claim to the throne was brushed aside and Rukhnuddin was put on the throne. The Turkish nobility however thought it below their dignity to be governed by a woman. Her father was unmindful of the Islamic traditions and ridicule of the Ulema, nominated her to succeed him to the throne. She possessed all the qualities befitting a ruler.

As her brother was lazy and engaged in sensual pleasures and failed to rule properly. Razia the daughter of Iltutmish, succeeded her half brother Rukhnuddin Firoz Shah as the Sultan of Delhi.
