==History==
The Ror empire is conventionally said to have been founded in 450 BCE by [[Dhaj]], a [[Ror|Ror prince]] from [[Rohri]] which today is in [[Pakistan]]. Dhaj first established himself in [[Rohri]], Sindh and ultimately moved towards the Indian subcontinent. Ror rule was interrupted for many years by the [[Sasanian Empire|Sasanian Emperors]] during Raja Ror's reign. Famed Russian linguist and physicist, [[Vladimir Braginsky|Vladimir Braginskiĭ]], also believed that the [[Hikayat Aceh]] literature from [[Aceh Sultanate]] were influenced by Ror dynasty historiography, as he found out the literal structure similarities of Hikayat Aceh with ''Sorath Rai Diyach'', as the former has shared the similar theme with the latter about the lifetime and exploits of the protagonist of ''Sorath Rai Diyach'', [[Bijal]]. Braginskiĭ also found the similarities in structure of both Brahmin literature and ''Sorath Rai Diyach'' with Chachnama manuscript.
The Ror imperial structure was founded by [[Dhaj the Great]] around the 450 BCEs which lasted until the 490s, until shortly after the [[Battle of Sindh]]. During the reigns of [[Dadror]] and [[Chach]], the dynasty reached its zenith in terms of geographical extent, economy, military and cultural influence.
Around 100, the dynasty was ruling the wealthiest empire in the world, with also the largest military on earth. Rors had approximately 24 percent share of the world's economy and a military of one million soldiers. At that time the Rors ruled almost the whole of South Asia with 160 million subjects, 23 percent of the world's population. The Dynasty's power rapidly dwindled during the 5th century with internal dynastic conflicts, incompatible monarchs, foreign invasions from Persians and Afghans, as well as revolts from [[Rai|Rai dynasty]] and [[Brahmin dynasty|Brahmin dynasty of Sindh]]. The power of the last emperor was limited only to the Walled city of [[Rohri]].
Many of the Rors had significant Indian and Iranian ancestry through marriage alliances as they were born to Iranian princesses. Rors played a great role in the flourishing of [[Indus Valley Civilisation]]. Rors were also great patrons of art, culture, literature and architecture. [[Ror painting]], [[Ror architecture|architecture]], [[Ror culture|culture]], [[Ror clothing|clothing]], [[Ror cuisine|cuisine]] and [[Sanskrit language]]; all were flourished during Ror era. Rors were not only guardians of art and culture but they also took interest in these fields personally. Emperor [[Khangar]] and [[Chashtana]] were great calligraphers, Dadror was a great painter, [[Dhaj]] was a great architect while [[Rudradaman I]] was a great poet.
