Why India did not have a large mixed population when the Brits ruled?

[Beetlejuice]

Indian woman were not attractive to them?
Other ex-colonies had mixed populations(Caribbean,USA etc)

Because Britis never had complete control. They lived here grudgingly, there was never a genocide like in the Americas, simply colonialism. Brits of course fucked poojas (some), there were brothels where brits visited

Shathron ke khiladi is a good movie illustrating British rule. There was a lot of politics and diplomacy behind the scenes, you cant rule a huge subcon like India without making compromises. In America it was different as the native population was far less and tribes generally competed against each other. It was same here except a concept of Hindu nationalism arose after the British thing started to become serious

They didn't rape enough

The brits didn't conquer India like often depicted in pop media. They would make deals with Indian kings and then make them a protectorate, the Indian royals profited from this exchange so they got to keep themselves in power and extract resources for the Brits, while the Anglos wpuld built up infrastructure and such that the kings would use to boost their own prestige in their kingdoms to the dalits like they were the ones in control of the whole process

Didn't the Mughals do that as well?

Mughals ruled in a somewhat more centralized fashion, the northern parts were fully Mughal domains while the Deccan plateu and the south were semi autonomous princidoms. In the north the previous indian royals still existed but they didn't have their own effective control or say in how their previous ancestral realms were governed, they were just spared so to not anger the dalits there. When the Mughals started to collapse and Marathas started making their own empire, the Brits came in and started arming the various battle royal tier wars between the power vaccum kingdoms that happened which now became their own forces as the Mughals receded into Delhi and its surroundings. The Brits being very diplomatic would make deal after deal with these former Mughal ruled places that had some royal families for them to become protectorates and the Brits would give them power and protect them against the Maratha confederacy. The brits lost the first war against the Marathas but won the one after and they finally made the Deccan kingdoms also their protectorates.

Something important to understand why the Brits so easily got all of these royals to agree to become British (more accurately British east india company) subjects was because these kings barely had any say under the mughals and they were already used to being stripped off amy power, and seeing how the brits gave them way more power then the Mughals did and a share of wealth they made from resource extraction.

I have a fascination for the period of history between 1400's and late 1700's, the early modern era. The mughal conquests, their manufacturing dominance in the Bengal delta and the 7 years war between Bengalis + French and Brits is fascinating to me

They were very low in numbers.

Many high ranking officers had their british wives with them.

They mostly outsourced the manpower to the locals and local kings, they just worked as top dogs.

Whatever few mixes that happened diluted out when the offspring again mixed with local population.
