History

The territory was annexed by the Bombay Presidency of British India in 1843, following a British Indian conquest led by then Major-General Charles Napier in order to quell the insurrection of Sindhi rulers who had remained hostile to the British Empire following the First Anglo-Afghan War.

The Sind Division was separated from the Bombay Presidency on 1 April 1936 and the region became the Sind Province.
