'''Rai Sahiras II''' was the second-last [[Buddhist]] ruler of the Jat [[Rai Dynasty]]<ref name=harsha>[https://books.google.com/books?id=m68BAAAAMAAJ& ''Harsha and His Times: A Glimpse of Political History During the Seventh Century A.D. , Page 78''] by Bireshwar Nath Srivastava (Chowkhamba Sanskrit Series Office, 1976)</ref> during early the 7th century.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=pfQLAAAAIAAJ& ''The historical background of Pakistan and its people''] by Ahmed Abdulla (Tanzeem Publishers, 1973)</ref> The Emperors of this dynasty were great patrons of [[Hinduism]] and [[Buddhism]]. This is consistent with the historical accounts from the times of Emperor [[Ashoka]] and [[Harsha]] because Indian monarchs never sponsored a state religion and usually patronized more than one faith.

Sahiras was killed in a battle with the King of [[Nimruz Province|Nimroz]] and was succeeded by his son, the ruler of [[Sindh]], [[Rai Sahasi II]].<ref name=harsha/><ref name=chachnama>[http://persian.packhum.org/persian/pf?file=12701030&ct=8 Chach Nama - ''The queen falls in love with Chach who becomes the Ruler through her love.'' - ''The passing away of Sáhasi Rái from this world.''- ''Chach son of Seláij ascends the throne.'']</ref>

This is consistent with the historical accounts from the times of Emperor [[Ashoka]] and [[Harsha]], as numerous monarchs from the [[Indian Subcontinent]] never sponsored a state religion and usually patronized more than one faith. He succeeded his father ''Sinharus'' ([[Rai Sahiras II]]).<ref name=chachnama/>

His reign ended in 632 AD.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bCVyhH5VDjAC&pg=PA152|title=Al- Hind: The slave kings and the Islamic conquest, Volume I|year=1991|publisher=Brill|page=152|isbn=9004095098}}</ref>
He was succeeded by his chamberlain, [[Chach of Alor]], who developed illicit sexual relations with Sahasi's wife (queen [[Rani Suhanadi]]).<ref>[http://persian.packhum.org/persian/pf?file=12701030&ct=8 Chach Nama]</ref> Chach conspired with Rani Suhanadi and killed Raja Sahasi II and his brothers were sent to prison. Chach was married with the queen and became ruler of Sindh ending the rule of the [[Rai Dynasty]] and starting a line of ruler-ship.<ref name=chachnama/>
