This is an interesting observation. They are reacting so strongly and negatively to even the tiniest hint of Indian insubordination because they know that India is the successor state to the British Empire in India, not a native state like Mughals.That's the first Indian media I've watched, and one of the bigger takeaways I got is actually that India has I think developed its own dialect of English. Little else can explain both the very persistent accent, and the strange grammar.
That means that unlike China, India could actually usurp the crown of Imperium Anglica, while China at most is an external barbarian.
It is like how Wu Sangui would rather open the gates of Shanhaiguan to Qing rather than allow Li Zicheng to be emperor and declare a Shun Dynasty.
