Why was India called the "Jewel In The Crown"? India's wealth and rich resources made it the most valuable territory claimed by the British Empire, hence the "jewel" of the Empire. India inherited the title "Jewel in the crown" sometime after the original "jewel," the American colonies, won their independence.
