1. Social/ Societal - India was a bunch of feuding princely states. However, this is something that was seen as the larger picture. If you take a microscopic look, there were a whole group of castes, communities, races, religions feuding against each other, which were kept simmering by local rulers and landlords.
2. Economic - During Aurangazeb’s time when the Mughals empire had reached it’s maximum distance territorially, India accounted for 25% of world GDP. This was just at the time when the Britishers set up the East India Company. But, by the time they left in 1947, India's share was reduced to about 2%. Until the 18th century, India was always ruled by rulers in India. Even when they invaded from outside, the administration never left the borders of India. The rulers were thus more tuned to local troubles and managed economic growth accordingly.
3. Foreign Relations - Historically, India had good relations with its neighbors. Although there were frequent skirmishes and wars between kingdoms in the present day Pakistan-Afghan belt, the relations between the main rulers in India and those of central, west and south-east Asia were on good terms promoting trade and economic growth. These things changed a lot after British colonialisation.
