Mamluk Sultanate Ruler Identification

The question requires identifying the specific ruler of the Mamluk Sultanate who held the position of Sultan of Delhi during the years 1236 to 1240.

Correct Ruler Identified

Razia Sultana was the Sultan of Delhi from 1236 to 1240. She is historically significant as the first and only female ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, belonging to the Mamluk dynasty.

Incorrect Options Analysis

  • Aram Shah: This ruler belonged to the early phase of the Delhi Sultanate and reigned much earlier, concluding his rule around 1211.
  • Ruknuddin Firoz: He ruled briefly in 1236, just before Razia Sultana, but did not complete the full term specified.
  • Nasiruddin Mahmud: His reign occurred later, spanning from 1246 to 1266, outside the requested period.

Therefore, Razia Sultana is the correct answer for the period 1236-1240.
