Great Britain was already becoming tired of maintaining its Empire, so this would have slowed the move toward independence rather than stopping it. I would suspect India would have gained more autonomy a short time after World War II in any case, but it might become a Dominion rather than gaining independence outright. That would have slowed the breakup of the Empire - the sun might still always shine on it in the early 21st century in this alternate, and that universe's India might just now be gaining sovereignty.
As for India's internal affairs, I don't know enough about that part of history to comment meaningfully.
