Like any process of Colonialisation, annexation of Sindh was shameful because the superpower of the time, British Empire just took a non-beligerent land. Sindhi State had in fact allowed British to remain peacefully, and was interested in trade with rest of India. British however did not care for any such niceities and attacked and took over Sindh.
In his report back to home government in London of his conquest, Charles Napier wrote, "Peccavi" - latin for "I have sinned". Guilty much?
The Romans never conquered the British empire. The British empire began roughly 1,600 years after Rome fell. Rome annexed the province of Britannia into its empire in 43 AD.

The British were not that interested in Sindh. What they were interested was in stopping insurgents from Sindh attacking the British troops over the border (sound familiar). The easiest way to stop this was to capture Sindh, which they did.
It was a Shameful British act because the British broke the treaty of friendship with Sindh and annex it. by M.H.KHAN.
It was most likely because there was something in their country that the British were interested in like for example:sugar,spices,tea,cloth etc.
Why did Sir Charles Napier said, 'we have no right to seize Sind'? The conquest of Sindh occurred as a result of the growing Anglo-Russian rivalry in Europe and Asia and the consequent British fears that Russia might attack India through Afghanistan or Persia. To counter Russia, the British Government decided to increase its influence in Afghanistan and Persia. It further felt that this policy could be successfully pursued only if Sindh was brought under British control. The commercial possibilities of the river Sindh were an additional attraction. The road and rivers of Sindh were opened to British trade by a treaty in 1832. The chiefs of Sindh, known as Amirs, were made to sign a subsidiary treaty in 1839. And finally, in spite of previous assurances that its territorial integrity would be respected. Sindh was annexed in 1843 after a brief campaign by Sir Charles Napier who had earlier written in his diary: 'we have no right to seize Sind, yet we shall do so, and a very advantageous, useful humane piece of rascality it will be'. He received seven lakhs of rupees as prize money for accomplishing the task.
