Abstract

Rad se bavi prikazom kratke vladavine Raziyye, jedine žene koja je vladala Delhijskim sultanatom u razdoblju od 1236. do 1240. godine. Raziyya-ud-Dunya Wa-ud-din bila je kći sultana Šams-ud-dina Iltutmiša koji je vladao Delhijskim sultanatom od 1211. do 1236. Kada je sultan Iltutmiš umro, nakon borbe za preuzimanje vlasti sa svojim polubratom Rukn-ud-dinom Firuzom, Raziyya je uspjela pobijediti i tako postati jedinom ženom koja je vladala Delhijskim sultanatom. Raziyya se istaknula kao izvrsna vladarica i vojskovođa, no suočila se s otporom zbog svojeg spola. Unatoč raznim izazovima, Raziyya je uspjela održati svoju vlast dok nije ubijena u pobuni svog brata Bahrama Šaha. Raziyyino vrijeme na vlasti bilo je kratko, ali je ostala važan primjer žene u vodstvu i njezina se priča prenosi generacijama kroz usmenu predaju kao inspiracija mnogima.

Abstract (english)

This thesis deals with the presentation of the short reign of Raziyya, the only woman who ruled the Delhi Sultanate in the period from 1236. to 1240. Raziyya-ud-Dunya Wa-ud-din was the daughter of Sultan Shams-ud-din Iltutmish who ruled the Delhi Sultanate from 1211 to 1236. When Sultan Iltutmish died, with a struggle for the throne with her half-brother Rukn-ud-din Firuz, Raziyya succeeded in taking the throne and thus became the only woman to rule the Delhi Sultanate. Raziyya distinguished herself as an excellent ruler and military leader but faced opposition because of her gender. Despite various challenges, Raziyya managed to maintain her rule until she was killed in a rebellion by her brother Bahram Shah. Raziyya's time at the helm was short, but she remains an important example of a woman in leadership and her story has been passed down through generations through oral tradition as an inspiration to many.
