In their first century of rule (1757–1857), the British in India were not so much an administering as a conquering force and the East India Company a garrison state, organized mainly for war. By the end of that century, they had defeated, annexed or subjugated every significant regional power in the Indian subcontinent.
After 1860 (and well before that in much of the subcontinent), there was no Indian state with the means to ignite political dissidence in a British-ruled district, or to coordinate opposition on a regional scale.
