Shah Turkan was a very smart woman.. But she failed to perceive outcomes..in those times women handled siyasat better from behind..

It is amazing to see the rise of Shah Turkan from a slave girl to the favorite queen and the way she managed to wield so much power after the demise of her husband at a time when the Turkish nobles frowned upon women occupying places of power and had done their best initially to prevent Razia from becoming the Sultana.

What an extraordinary woman who used her intelligence, unfortunately, for the wrong reasons! She seems to have set a precedent for the likes of Maham Anga later on.

Great post! Thank you for this insightful post about one of the earliest women who wielded power in Delhi. :)




Your comparison of Maham and Shah Turkan was well enough. Made me think about both the woman. Quite apt. Thanks for posting Radhika.

I did not watch the show except a few episodes in the end for few minutes, when i started to make the history posts about Razia. Hence i am not aware of this development. But i agree, it is better to keep the character as close to real one.

According to me, both Shah Turkan and Razia were women of substance and very ambitious. Hats off to the ladies and to you as well for giving us such deep information ...
