The British wanted to make sure that Afghanistan did not fall into Russian hands. The British agreed with the sikh ruler of the Punjab , Ranjit Singh , that Afghanistan should remain independent. They hoped that Ranjit Singh would help them install a pro-British ruler in Kabul . He did not support them , so the British went ahead on their own . However , a rebellion in Afghanistan in 1841led to all British troops in the country being killed .
The British felt that their pride had been hurt by this loss in Afghanistan and decided to turn on Sindh . This territory wasruled by a collection of Amirswho had signed a treaty of friendship with Britain in 1809 . However , the British wanted to regain their prestige and also to make sure that sindh could not be a targetfor Sikh expansion . Ranjit Singh had been following a policy of extending his Kingdom and this had worried the British , so they decided to annex sindh . All they needed was an excuse . The British general , Sir Charles Napier provoked the amirs of Sindh so much that they attacked the British Residency in 1843 . He now had an excuse for war .

Why was the attackon sindh a shameful british act?
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?
