Was India a threat to Britain?

Ok, I’ll bite, what were the pacification plans?

Was India a threat to Britain?

How is that relevant? The point is the British pacified the Indians in the Indian's own country.

Ok, I’ll bite, what were the pacification plans?

That is an exercise for the student (I.e., YOU).

The broader point is these are both examples of successful pacification of HUGE populations with radically different cultural mores.
