By India Today Web Desk: We cannot talk about India’s past rulers without the mention of some of India’s great queens. These women were not only able and efficient rulers but also great patrons of art and culture. Although some of these rulers were crowned circumstantially post the death of a male heir, these incredible women proved that they were better leaders, administrators, warriors and guardians of their people than their male counterparts. Born to Sultan Shamsuddin Iltutmish, Razia Sultan was the only female ruler that ruled the Delhi sultanate. After the death of her eldest brother and the heir apparent Nasiruddin Mahmud, Sultan Iltumish nominated Razia as the heir apparent much to the dismay of his nobles who could not accept a woman ruler. Razia had to fight for the throne as the nobles established her brother Ruknuddin Firuz as the king in her stead, who proved to be an incapable and cruel ruler.
