			== Historical Administrative Status of Sindh ==

			A substantial portion of Sindh came under British military control when [[Charles Napier (British Army officer, born 1782)\|General Sir Charles Napier]] captured the region, subsequently losing its independent statehood and being administered as a Commissionership within the [[Bombay Presidency]] of [[India]], governed by a Commissioner.

			Following administrative reorganisation under the Morley-Minto Reforms in 1909, Sindh secured parliamentary representation in the Bombay Legislative Assembly for the first time through four nominated members. A political movement advocating Sindhi separation from the Bombay Presidency emerged thereafter, culminating in the [[Government of India Act 1935]]. Pursuant to Section 40(3) of said legislation, Sindh achieved autonomous provincial status effective 1 April 1936. The newly constituted Province of Sindh obtained its own Legislative Assembly comprising sixty members, elected on principles of communal representation incorporating weighted allocation for minority communities.

			Sir Lancelot Graham assumed office as the inaugural Governor of Sindh on 1 April 1936, pursuant to British Government appointment. Until 1937, he concurrently presided over an Executive Council of twenty-five members responsible for provincial administration, which included two advisers drawn from the Bombay Council.
