The Sind Division was the name an administrative division of the British Raj located in Sindh.
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[1] in order to quell the insurrection of Sindhi rulers who had remained hostile to the British Empire following the First Anglo-Afghan War. Napier's campaign against these chieftains resulted in the victories of the Battle of Miani and the Battle of Hyderabad.[2]
The Sind Division was separated from the Bombay Presidency on 1 April 1936 and the region became the Sind Province.[3]
