India was colonized during the early 1800s, the Industrial Revolution was beginning and Great Britain needed raw materials and resources. Therefore, economic profit was a huge driving force behind England's actions regarding India.
Nationalism was also a factor in the colonization of India. As with many other European nations, Great Britain came out of the French Revolution with a strong sense of pride and the urge to prove itself a world power.
Apparently building a large military and gaining territory through imperial domination was the way to do this.
Another reason, though it may have just been rationalization or a glorified excuse, was the widely believed idea that European nations were responsible to bring knowledge and technology to the uncivilized, savage parts of the world.
When Great Britain colonized India, it fundamentally impacted the religion, economy, and environment of the native people.
