Answer:
The British were able to take control of India mainly because India was not united. The British signed treaties and made military and trading alliances with many of the independent states that made up India. ... These local princes were effective at maintaining British rule and gained much from being loyal to the British.
Additionally India was the jewel in the crown of the British Empire. As well as spices, jewels and textiles, India had a huge population. Soldiering was an honorable tradition in India and the British capitalized on this. They regimented India's manpower as the backbone of their military power.
