Explanation

Sir Charles Napier replaced Major James Outram as the British Resident (political agent) in Sind in 1842. This happened during the period of British expansion into Sindh province - Napier ultimately conquered and annexed Sindh in 1843 after the Battle of Miani. Outram had been the political agent managing relations with the local Sind rulers before Napier's appointment brought a more aggressive military approach to British policy in the region.
