The Rors originated as a branch of the [[Asia]]n [[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 [[Descent from Kuru|Kuru]]s 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 [[Commander-in-chief|head of the military]], while during its [[Ror Empire#Decline (489)|declining era]] much of the power shifted and the empire became divided into many regional kingdoms and [[princely state]]s. However, even in the declining era, the Ror Emperor continued to be the highest manifestation of sovereignty on the [[Indian subcontinent]]. Not only the [[Raja|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. | |||
