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. 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.<ref>''Ror Itihaas Ki Jhalak'', by Dr. Raj Pal Singh, Pal Publications, Yamunanagar (1987) pp. 89-92</ref> | 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. | |||
