Q. Which author wrote that Razia Sultana's rule went against the ideal social order created by God in which women were supposed to be subordinate to men?
Answer:
Minhaj-i Siraj
Notes: In 1236 Sultan Iltutmish’s daughter, Raziyya, became Sultan. The chronicler of the age, Minhaj-i Siraj, recognised that she was more able and qualified than all her brothers. But he was not comfortable at having a queen as the ruler. Nor were the nobles happy at her attempts to rule independently. She was removed from the throne in 1240. Minhaj-i Siraj thought that the queen's rule went against the ideal social order created by God, in which women were supposed to be subordinate to men.
