The British conquest of Sindh was a successful British military campaign and conquest of Sindh into the British India from the rule of the Talpurs. The East India Company, supported by the British Army and Royal Navy, in India oversaw the campaign between February and March of 1843—two major battles were fought namely Battle of Hyderabad and Battle of Miani.[5]
With the Royal Navy capturing the strategic outpost and Karachi, the British Army engaged in successfully capturing Sindh and Punjab that allowed protecting India from Persian or Afghan conquests while protecting British interests in Northwest India.
