Answers
Answer:
If we go through the history of the sub-continent, we'll find that the British came to India for trade. The East India Company (The British) took advantage of the differences between the Hindus and the Muslims and using their treachery and the policy of Divide and Rule, weakened the Indian sates and took hold of the Muslim States one by one with the help of traitors. After the War of Independence, they took tough measures (It is a very very simple word, they, rather butchered thousands of Muslims mercilessly, without any justification), because they knew that they had usurped the power from the Muslims. They feared that the Muslims would rise in revolt against their colonial, imperial rule as and when they found the chance. 1857 War of Independence will go as a slur on the name of justice the British claim to be following. There are hundreds of books which describe what happened to thousands of Muslims after the War. It is a pathetic, painful and heart-rending chapter of human history.

Answer:
East India Company had a sizable Army in India. By 1806, they had about 154,000 armed men and far more than most armies at that time.
By 1880, the army grew to 550,000 with a sizable addition to British troops.
After the disintegration of Mughal empire there was nothing connecting India. That means, although there were uprisings in various parts of the country, they were all random and uncoordinated. For instance, some group in Vellore would rebel. The company would send 2000 troops and they will be squashed. A month later, another group would rebel in Bombay and the company would send the 2000 men there. Unless, a big chunk of India made a coordinated attack, the company could just keep sending a few thousand strong warriors to squash rebelling everywhere. These local kings were all loyal to the British (those not loyal were elminated) and actively helped squashing rebellions in the British controlled regions close to their state. For instance, the British would take Hyderabad's and Mysore's help if they need to fight a rebellion in Madras. Britain won over Indian elites and these elites helped give legitimacy to the empire. For these Indian elites, British rule was a welcome break from a long period of oppression and also provided a chance to reform Indian society. These Indian elites helped pacify the masses. Mahatma simply entered and cut the cord. Indian elites came out flocking. That pulled the legitimacy from under their feet and now they were made to look like real invaders
