Synopsis Sultan Raziya has been treated by most writers as a figure of fiction rather than as a powerful ruler, competent politician and an able military commander. The book seeks to put in proper perspective the personality and role of Sultan Raziya. It describes the society, institutions, political set up she inherited and lived in, and offers a re-interpretation of the personality, motivation and achievements of Raziya. This book also puts the Hindu-Muslim communal bias, which has unfortunately vitiated all historical writing of this period, in its proper setting.
