> Kings of India before Mughals/British fought too among themselves but not for resources/money/territory.
...then what did they fought for?

In some cases "Dharma" and in some cases, just to show their power or get the titles such as "king of kings" ...etc.
Remember "time" is continuous spectrum and there may be dilution of the above in some cases but since history won't preserve every emotion/reason/circumstances behind every decision of every participant, we can just speculate in such diluted individual cases.
Also, just like modern day games which happen in a stadium, there used to be "war stadiums" where war is confined to that place only (e.g: Kurushetra). This is primarily to avoid loss of innocents/women/children unlike current practice of destructing whole opposite country including small children some times.
