Why?
Because the Anglican Church was headed by the King of England. So it followed the King's rules. The Protestant church has one head- The Lord Jesus Christ- and one source of knowledge- the Holy Bible- The Sola Scriptura principle( Only the Scripture)
You can not serve two masters. So they were called to leave, because staying would have meant betraying God.
Hope it helps.

There is therefore no such thing as an "Anglican Church" because the official name is "Church of North India"

(By the way, "Catholic" literally means "Universal". The Roman Catholic Church considers itself the only Catholic Church, but other Churches may dispute this, or even that the so-called "Roman Catholic" Church is in fact "Catholic" at all.)
