During the time of Lord Ellenborough, the annexation of Sindh in the British State took place. Sindh, located in present-day Pakistan, was annexed by the British in 1843. Lord Ellenborough served as the Governor-General of India from 1842 to 1844. This annexation was a strategic move by the British to strengthen their control in the region and expand their territories in India. It was also a response to the increasing influence of the Sikh Empire in the area. By annexing Sindh, the British gained control over important ports and trade routes, which furthered their imperial interests in the Indian subcontinent.
