the internet is basically just a series of wires connecting customers to ISPs, and ISPs to other ISPs
the ISPs all maintain routing tables which are basically just text files that determine where data is physically sent if it's routed to a specific IP address (this has to happen, otherwise the internet would be conceptually impossible)
ISPs communicate with each other using BGP (border gateway protocol) to update their routing tables all the time.
a random indian ISP hijacking 1.1.1.1 by broadcasting new routes for it is just something that can happen, they have the authority because they're part of that network I described above and other providers have decided to listen to bgp traffic from that particular system
