The British period in India is referred to as colonial because:
A colonial period is the period in the history of a country when it was subject to government by a colonial power. From the understanding of colonialism, it is also the foundation of a colony in a foreign territory by a political power(colonial power) from another country or territory(in this case British) which leads to exploitation, expansion and maintenance.
The British Raj, or the British colonial rule in India took place from 1858 to 1947. Therefore, from this we understand that the British system of governance was established in India in 1858 and came to an end in 1947. This means that the people of India were subject to the British administration during this period.
This is the reason why the British period in India is referred to as colonial.
