Ishant Sharma took seven wickets as India ended a run of 15 Tests without an away victory courtesy of a 95-run win over England at Lord's.
This victory, only India's second in 17 Tests at Lord's, put the tourists 1-0 up in the five-match series ahead of the third Test in Southampton on Sunday after the first Test in Nottingham was drawn.
England, set 319 for victory, collapsed to 223 all out on Monday's final day.
Sharma took four wickets for nine runs in 21 balls after lunch as a succession of England batsmen were undone by his bouncer.
In total, the 25-year-old finished with a Test-best seven for 74 to win the man-of-the-match award.
"We are going to enjoy this, then we go to Southampton where we will aim to play the same cricket that we played at Lord's and Nottingham," Sharma said.
This result extended England's run without a Test win to 10 successive matches.
However, under-pressure England captain Alastair Cook said he wouldn't quit as skipper.
"It gets harder and harder the more we don't win and of course that heaps on you at the end of the day," Cook said.
"Until that bloke taps me on the shoulder and says 'we don't want you to captain' I'm desperate to try to turn this around for England ... I'm here as long as I'm wanted."
Monday's slump saw England, who had been 173 for four, lose their last six wickets for 50 runs.
Sharma's final figures surpassed the his previous Test-best six for 51 against New Zealand in Wellington earlier this year.
England resumed on Monday on 105 for four, having only three times in their history made more than 300 in the fourth innings to win a Test.
And only once before had a side made more batting last to win a Test at Lord's, with the West Indies piling up 344 for one against England back in 1984.

To think we've been bounced out and bullied by both Sri Lanka's and India's bowling attack. #bouncebackability
