The siege of Leh was a significant military engagement that took place in August 1842 during the ongoing conflicts between the Dogra dynasty and Tibetan forces allied with the Qing dynasty. The siege occurred in Leh, the capital of Ladakh, which was a contested region in northern India. General Zorawar Singh, a prominent commander under the Dogra dynasty, led the Dogra forces to victory, ultimately consolidating their control over Ladakh.[6] The siege also witnessed a significant Ladakhi uprising against Dogra rule, though it was suppressed brutally by Dogra forces.
