Raja Sahasi II, was the last Rajput ruler of Sind his empire extended up to Kashmir and he believed in Buddhism as did his father Siharus. The rule of Raja Sahasi II ended in 632 A.D. He was succeeded by his Hindu Brahmin chamberlain, Chach of Alor, who developed illicit sexual relations with Sahasi's wife (queen Rani Suhanadi). Chach conspired with Rani Suhanadi and killed Raja Sahasi II and married with the queen and became ruler of Sindh ending the rule of the Rai Dynasty and starting a line of Brahmin rulership Chach ruled over Sind for about 68 years from 632-700 A.D.
