The Battle of Dubba (or The Battle of Dubbo in contemporary references) (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 after the death of Mir Sher Muhammad Khan Talpur during the Battle of Miani, Charles Napier occupied Central Sindh including Hyderabad the then capital of Sindh state.
