It get its name from an ancient place in Sindh named Alor, which was capital of King Musaksen.
Alor (or Aror, Sukkur) held the status of capital under the reign of Musikanos, when Alexander invaded India in 326 BCE. The ruins of this ancient town still exist, 8 km east of Rohri, in Sukkur district. The Rai Dynasty built a huge temple of Shiva (Shankar), hence 'Sukkur'. In 711 CE, the Arabs invaded Sindh, led by 17 year old Muhammad bin Qasim, and Sukkur (including all of Sindh and lower Punjab) became part of the Umayyad Caliphate.
Sukkur or Sakharu (Hindi : सुक्कुर, Urdu: سکھر [səkʰəru], Sindhi: سکر), is a city and district in the Sindh province of Pakistan. Formerly it was known a Aror (अरोड, Urdu: اروڑ [əroːɽ]). During Alexander's invasion it was known as Poros ruled by Raja Poros.
According to Bhim Singh Dahiya Alor was capital of Rai Dynasty. Rai Diwaij was a powerful chief whose rule extended up to Kashmir and Kannauj kingdoms in the East, Makran and the Arabian sea in the West, Saurashtra in the South and Kandhar and Seistan and the hills of Sulaiman on the North. He formed alliances with most of the rulers of Hind, i.e. India and throughout his territories caravans travelled in perfect security. Rai Diwaij's son was Rai Siharas, and Siharas's son was Rai Sahasi. They were the kings of Rai dynasty and as is well known Rai is one of the Jat clans and the name of the dynasty is based on a title, viz., Rai meaning king. They are also given the title of Shahi by the Muslim historians.
