The Ror dynasty (Sindhi: روهڙا راڄ‎) was a powerful dynasty from the Indian subcontinent that ruled modern-day Sindh and northwest India from 450 BC. Ror dynasty was founded by Raja Ror I. 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]
