In AL Basham's, 'the wonder that was India', he identifies several key differences in the idea of what a king is in India.
It's nothing like the European version.
There was no way India could have been properly ruled by the English crown. The understanding of monarchy is so different and also explains why so many kings happily agreed to become British vassals.
