Who was the first women ruler of medieval India?

Razia Sultan

The correct answer is Option 4- Razia Sultan

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. This Indian queen ascended to the throne after overthrowing him by mobilising and leading the general public towards a rebellion, following which, she imprisoned and executed Ruknuddin. Although her reign was short-lived, Razia Sultan proved herself as a strong and capable leader.
