The Battle of Dubbo (March 24, 1843) was a battle between British forces under Sir Charles Napier and the Talpur amirs of the now Pakistani region of Sindh. The British were upset about the local amirs' stance during the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839–42). Charles Napier, first forced Talpur Mirs of Sindh to sign new agreement and later took over Hyderabad through Battle of Miani.
Later, on March 24, 1843, Mir Sher Muhammad Khan Talpur , the ruler of Southeastern Sindh (Mirpurkhas) tried to liberate Sindh from the occupation of the British East India Company forces at the Dubbo though he could not succeed.
The battle was fought near Hyderabad, Sindh.
