The Emperors of [[Rai dynasty]] were great patrons of [[Hinduism]] and [[Buddhism]]. 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/>

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/>
