Many well known historians also believe that the rebellion was simply a way of getting her back and to protect her from the evil eyes of people like Kabir Khan and the Turkish Nobles who always wanted her downfall because they could not accept a woman sitting on the throne. The rumors of Yaqut were only spread by Turkish nobles to put the Sultana's image down. It is now accepted that Malik Altunia was her first and last love.

The growing rumour between the illicit relationship between Yaqut and Razia made him jealous and so he led a rebellion against her. The position of Amir-ul-Umra was earlier held only by a Turk of highest order. From a simple Amir-i-Akhur (Lord of the stables), he became Amir-ul-Umra (Chief of the Nobles). Yaqut in a short span had acquired great position and rank. When he became the governor of Bhatinda, Razia started relying on an Abyssinian Slave named Jamaluddin Yaqut who was loyal to the Sultana. Hence she kept turning down his repeated proposals for marriage. He had aimed to be her royal consort one day, but Razia's busy life and heavy responsibility as a Sultan wasn't something that she could overlook. This fact made sense because, after he left for Bhatinda the Turkish nobles started to conspire against her and spread rumors about her and Jamal-ud-Din Yaqut, an Abyssinian Siddi ( Habshi) slave, and she began to meet her downfall.Īltunia and Razia were childhood friends, some claim them to be childhood sweethearts. Some historians say that, it was because of Malik Altunia's undying support and protective shield towards her, that she managed to rule successfully for four years. Due to his services to her and the Sultanate, she made him the Governor of Bhatinda which was under the rule of the Delhi Sultanate.

He helped her break the 40 Amirs and strengthen her rule, he also helped her in over throwing the rule of Shah Turkan and her son, Ruknuddin Firoz who were very cruel. During the reign of Razia Sultan, he stood by her like a pillar through thick and thin times. He was given the charge of sharab-dar (office the care of the liquors) and after sometime when Sultan Itutmish saw the bravey and manliness in him he gave him the office of Sar Chatar-dar (head of the state canopy-bearers). Mirza Altunia was born in 1204 CE in Bhatinda, Punjab. ( October 2021) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.
