The Hindu regions fought hard against the Islamic invasion waves from the West. Some were overrun, but most survived. When British troops came along, a peace accord was eventually formulated whereby Indian states got to keep their religion and the Brits would reap the benefits of open trade. It was a win win for all.

Typically Christianity would be imposed upon a populace under British control, but an exception was made for India. The deal provided a friendly landscape with most of the states.
