	Razia Sultan Summary
		Razia reigned for approximately three and a half years (1236--1240), and although she made important reforms in government, she was ultimately unable to reconcile her Muslim nobility to her ruling as a woman.
		As a child and adolescent, Razia had had little contact with the women of the harem, so she had had little opportunity to learn the customary behavior of women in the Muslim society that she was born into.
		Razia married Malik Altuniya, the rebelious Governor of Bhatinda and attempted to recaputure the throne.

	Delhi Sultanate - Indian History
		The sultanate was in constant flux as five dynasties rose and fell: Mamluk or Slave (1206-90), Khalji (1290-1320), Tughluq (1320-1413), Sayyid (1414-51), and Lodi (1451-1526).
		The effective rule of a sultan depended largely on his ability to control the strategic places that dominated the military highways and trade routes, extract the annual land tax, and maintain personal authority over military and provincial governors.
		Sultan Ala-ud-Din made an attempt to reassess, systematize, and unify land revenues and urban taxes and to institute a highly centralized system of administration over his realm, but his efforts were abortive.

		Thus wrote sultan Iltutmish, who ruled the Delhi sultanate for nearly twenty-six years, about his daughter Razia Begum who is more popular known in history as Razia Sulatana.
		He was subjected to a severe criticism by the conservatives and the religious clerics as the decree appointing Razia was unpalatable to them.
		She was wise, just and generous, a benefactor to her kingdom, a dispenser of justice, the protector of her subjects, and the leader of her armies.

	Review on Razia Sultan by psyxx - MouthShut.com
		It was based on the story of Razia Sultana, daughter of the king Iltutmush, who was the first woman ruler of India (and most of Asia as well).
		Razia Sultan was a big budget movie, consisting of lavish sets that replicated the architecture and ambience of the era and a cast consisting of powerhouses like Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Pradeep Kumar, Parveen Babi, Ajit etc.
		The movie is tragic as Razia Sultan faces a lot of hostile entities and dies fighting.

		I rented Razia Sultan the other day and was disappointed to see that a certain scene had been deleted.
		There was a kiss between Razia Sultan (a woman) and Kakul (a woman).
		The way that I remember it--in a clip that I saw about ten years ago in a documentary about gay and lesbian South Asians--is as follows: Kakul is fanning Razia Sultan with a rather large (peacock?) feather, and at one point, she covers RS's face with the fan.
