High birth rates and proportionately much lower casualties than those they fought. That sort of question applies more to Russia, which lost men by the hundred thousand. The British always punched well above their weight, but that also meant they had not so many deep roots in their rule, it would become fairly easy to untangle the structures they build from the British government and colonial population. The British never enacted a substantial integration policy nor did the colonial population systematically supplant local groups in India, though there was suggestion at the time that the low mountains of North India should be settled by Europeans and that the whole of the rebel area during the mutiny should have been depopulated and replaced likewise, this never came to anything and thus the British didn't have an Algeria situation, not that it would have changed matters as parliament would prove during the 20th century they they felt no obligations towards colonial British populations.
