The Battle of Gujarat was the decisive battle of the Second Anglo-Sikh War, fought on February 21, 1849, between British forces and the Sikhs. The depleted Sikh army, weakened by lack of supplies, was defeated by the Bengal and Bombay Armies of the British East India Company. After it capitulated a few days later, the Punjab was annexed to the East India Company's territories and its ruler, "the infant Duleep Singh", was deposed.
