Britishers arrived in India around AD 1612. Sometimes I feel how some thousands of Britishers were able to conquer entire INDIA. And rule it for nearly 200 years. The Reason behind their success lies in their divide and rule technique. That time India was under the rule of Mughals which were firmly governing India with iron fist. So Britishers behaved as businesseman till the Mughals were strong at centre.

But after the Mughals became weak at centre after Aurangzeb death. Britishers started showing their true colours. While conquering India they used divide and rule policy. One key point you have to understand here is that feeling of Nationalism was absent among Common people. People from different regions don't used to consider each other as the citizens of same country. So Britishers were easily able to use army from one region against any other region. We Indians were like soliders who fight for money. That's why they were able to use divide and rule policy effectively in India.

After mughal empire weakened, many strong regional power rised in India.

Ex- Marathas, Nijams,Mysore, Bengal, awadh, Sikhs,rohilas, bundelas,jats, etc.

As you can see these regional power were pretty strong together. But they were in continuously fight with each other. Like example-Marathas , Mysore,Nijams were sworn enemies of each other.

So because of this Britishers were able to use the divide and rule policy on them. We will see some examples of how they used divide and rule policy in India.

First in battle of Plassey, Britishers bribed the mir jafar who was the head of army of nawab of Bengal . They divided the nawab of Bengal side by giving bribes to his army heads and nobles and Britishers were able to defeat the nawab of Bengal easily.
