Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
In the year 1236, Razzia has crowned Sultan of the Delhi Sultanate. She was Sultan Iltutmish's talented daughter. She is well-known for being an efficient and talented ruler. Furthermore, according to the sources of one of the historians of the time, Minhaj-i-Siraj, Raziyya was significantly superior to her brothers. In comparison to her brothers, she was more efficient and talented. People, however, had difficulty accepting a woman as ruler. Aristocrats and Sultanate subjects opposed the decision of crowning a woman as Sultan. Hence Raziyaa was dethroned in 1240.
The correct statement would be that Raziyya was crowned the Sultan in 1236.
