Besides Britain, were there any other countries that could do it? If so, which ones and how would their rule of India compare to the British Raj.

For a definition of "India", let's go with present day Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh.

As a bonus question, could Britain have ever lost India to a rival power? Whether or not they're European doesn't Matter( so Japanese can count ,but I doubt on the possibility). Like say in any war or conflict, Britain loses and they have to give up territory in South Asia, so even a small chunk of India could count as losing India. It doesn't count if India or a small chunk become completely independent though, as they at least have to be within the sphere of influence of another country.
