Yes, India was unstable. That is not the same as underdeveloped.

USA has had several peaks of instability during its existence, arguably is on such a peak right now, but is fairly developed, though very unequally so.

And it's valid to point that out. But at the end of the day for what reason India was unable to fight back against the western powers doesn't really matter.

In India's case there still was no heroic conquering. Just bullying. And then bullies fighting against each other from relative safety with their colonies as pawns.
