By 1870 it was clear that the 1858 Government Act of India wasn't working and trying to administer all of British India from Calcutta was creating an increasingly unwieldy government unable to maintain order. That, combined with a lack of any legislative input by Indian aristocracy led to the 1879 rebellion and in 1882 India was divided into several smaller, more easily managed colonies. So what happens if that never occurs and India remains one gigantic British territory?
