Thus Indian power structures came around to the EIC's side, both formal and informal. The states that resisted this were crushed by a coalitions mostly composed of Indian soldiers, under hire of the EIC or its allies.

Although some did, those men were cool, a trait that Anglo society cannot respect Indians of course, did not resemble orcs. Maybe some of the soldiers did, but soldiers were violent psychos everywhere. The Reconquista was successful on part of the Almogavars, which were Christian mountain men that would live in the woods and occasionally pillage towns and abduct people. Crazy guys like this tend to be useful in wars, but as human beings they are amoral dangers to society.

Brace wrote a lot for vice when he was fighting in rojava, which is probably more morally reprehensible than being in the army

The EIC sepoys were basically an unmatched force until enough french mercenaries and engineers started teaching the Marathas etc. how to use the fire and file effectively Capitalism is what brought the EIC to India, it's what splintered all the coalitions against them, it's what set the Jagat Seths at odds with the emperor, etc but what made all of it possible was force of arms

The conflicts heavily affected major cities like Mumbai, Madras, Kolkata and Chittagong, which resulted the intervention of Emperor Aurangzeb, who seized all the factories of the company and arrested members of the British Army, while the company forces commanded by Sir Josiah Child, Bt captured further Mughal trading ships and set the houses on fire of many faujdars. Ultimately the British East India Company was defeated by the army of the Mughal Empire and the company was fined 150.000 rupees (roughly equivalent to today's $4.4 million). The company's apology was accepted and the old firman was granted by Emperor Aurangzeb.

The EIC sepoys were basically an unmatched force until enough french mercenaries and engineers started teaching the Marathas etc. how to use the fire and file effectively The sepoys themselves were a part of Indian power structures, and they outnumbered European soldiers from the start. Training was bunk in the early days, the EIC was perpetually frustrated with any sepoys recruited from the streets of company towns. Instead, they increasingly turned towards hiring sepoys from groups like country brahmins, who were already experienced as semi-regular soldiers and would spread the good word of EIC employment within their communities. The Brits didn't trust or respect them much, but they hired thousands of sepoys anyways so it wasn't just a privilege bestowed by the EIC. You are grossly overstating the impact of technology on Indian colonization. Clive found a willing defector, and fought a timid Bengal army at Plassey, two things that better technology wouldn't fix. The reason for Bengal's weakness is simple, the new Nawab was a failson who didn't pay his soldiers reliably and also couldn't secure the loyalty of his powerful vassals before marching off to war. If you were a semi-professional soldier, like all Indian infantry, why would you die for this guy? Clive's successes in Bengal inspired the Bombay Presidency to start the First Anglo-Maratha war. First is the important word here, they hadn't actually fought before, and the Marathas actually beat the EIC, with some effort, but not enough to stop them from going on to war with the Rajputs. War goes beyond weapons, and is highly situational, and quite random when its not industrial hellwar. The reason why the EIC could weather their militaries failures with less catastrophe is because their power was derived from the economy, not honor or loyalty or nobless oblige, EIC employees were given salaries and dividends paid from EIC revenue, not large tracts of land for them to own as property. Before its military power was real, the EIC was generating 10x the revenue of the Nawabs, and they had no idea how to replicate it.
