India was considered Britain's crown jewel due to its vast resources, strategic location, and significant economic potential. The British East India Company initially established control over trade in the region, which later transitioned into direct British colonial rule after the Indian Rebellion of 1857. India's agricultural products, spices, textiles, and later, its markets for British manufactured goods made it a crucial asset for the British Empire. The phrase "the brightest jewel in the crown" reflects the empire's reliance on India for wealth and power.
