The Dogra–Tibetan war, also called the Sino–Sikh war, was fought from May 1841 to August 1842 between the Dogra-led Kingdom of Jammu, a federal subject of the Sikh Empire, and Tibet, a protectorate of the Qing dynasty. The Dogra king Gulab Singh's commander was the able General Zorawar Singh Kahluria, who, after the conquest of Ladakh, attempted to extend its boundaries to control the trade routes into Ladakh.
