How did a tiny European Island managed to conquer the huge Indian Subcontinent ?

The British ruled over India for a period of 200 years. The tale of how a small European island managed to conquer a nation at least 20 times its size and thousands of miles away is fascinating and nothing short of a miracle. But how did this happen? What events led to the absolute British dominance in such a humongous territory ranging from Afghanistan in the West to Burma in the east at its peak? Finding the answer to this question can not only clear some clouds over the past but might also prove to be important for some socio political realizations of the present.
