The Ror dynasty (Sindhi: روهڙا راڄ‎) or the House of Dhaj, was a dynasty founded by Dhaj that ruled the Ror Empire from its inception in 450 BCE till the late fifth century, and then as ceremonial suzerains over much of the empire until 415.

The Rors originated as a branch of the Asian Ikshvaku dynasty. The dynasty's founder, Dhaj (born 400 BCE), was a direct descendant of the Asian conqueror Ruru on his father's side, and Dhaj's ancestors had other affiliations with Kurus through marriage and common ancestry. Many of the later Ror emperors had significant Indian and Persian ancestry through marriage alliances.

During much of the Empire's history, the emperor functioned as the absolute head of state, head of government and head of the military, while during its declining era much of the power shifted and the empire became divided into many regional kingdoms and princely states. However, even in the declining era, the Ror Emperor continued to be the highest manifestation of sovereignty on the Indian subcontinent. Not only the Hindu gentry, but the Maratha, Rajput, and Sikh leaders took part in ceremonial acknowledgements of the Emperor as the sovereign of India. The Rai dynasty's founder, Rai Diwaji usurped the imperial family and abolished the empire in 489.

As capital of the Sauvira Kingdom, Roruka is mentioned as an important trading center in early Buddhist literature. Buddhist Jataka stories talk about exchanges of gifts between King Rudrayan of Roruka and King Bimbisara of Magadha. Divyavadana, the Buddhist chronicle has said that Ror historically competed with Pataliputra in terms of political influence. The scholar T.W. Rhys Davids has mentioned Roruka as one of the most important cities of India in the 7th century BCE.^[1]

After the establishment of Rohri, Dhaj Ror Kumar established Ror dynasty which ruled Sindh for thousand years from 450 BC.^[2] Today Ror people are found in North Eastern parts of Haryana.^[3]
