British rule was golden era in Indian History!
1. British unified over 550 princely states into a single entity. 2. They ended Moslem domination in India and liberated Hinddus from 1000-year long subjugation that eventually led to the rise of Hinddu intellectual class who could eventually fight for the freedom of India. 3. British built excellent dams, bridges, railways, roads, etc which unheard in the rest of Asia (during 19th century). 4. British opened many universities and colleges in India, which helped Hinddus to rise as an intellectual class. 5. British introduced English helped India to become a software superpower in the world today. 6. British rule considerably weakened the barbaric caste-system, even though remnants of the system remain. Even superstitions decreased to a great extent. 7. Due to better medical services, death rate dropped and life-span increased. 8. Railways, postal services, modern education, English medicine, etc rapidly improved the standards and quality of life. 9. HHindus were living under complete subjugation of Mozlems. British rule gave great religious freedom to HHindus 10. British rule altogether gave a new direction to Indians who were mired in ignorance, superstitions, caste-barbarity and opened an era of modern civilization in India.

Real account. Untouchability,satee, killing for robbery by thugs were eliminated. New disciplined army, navy, air force and railways raised beisdes education and health care. Actually, India need to have sought dominion autonomy rather than independence. But one sore point was the discouragement for indian industries and india becoming a dumping place of industrialised britain. UK, USA and USSR helped india stop the indo china war. Any way we respect the british and have gratitude. Now UK does not discourage religion based secession.

India's GDP was 25% of global GDP just before British came to India. Once British left India's GDP was less than 1% of global GDP. Now you decide how British robbed India.
Mughal rule was ended by great Sivaji, not British. Princely states were remained princely states and were given freedom to be independent of join India or Pakistan after independence. But Sardar Patel successfully joined them to one unit.
Technology is not alien to anyone in modern world India could have easily built railways, bridges,dams etc with wast resources. It is the British that exploited cast system in India, with the divide and rule policy. India lost more than it gained under british.

Thinking that we were advanced before British came is frog-in-well attitude.

May be. Still, let us remember: poverty, starvation deaths(refer Shashi Tharoor's speech) and corruption were all British legacy(Nehru himself wrote that corruption was institutionalised by the British)-I don't mean that there was no corruption before)Further the British were responsible for many Indians of today who do not respect their own culture-this is faithfully perpetrated by Communists and the other so called liberal secularists. Further they colonised a country which was already emaciated by 500 years of foreign rule

It is highly misunderstood conception of British rule,as even. many mutual rulers like Akbar also did rule India very well.Same way British who rules Indiama country 20 times their Country with the thinking of ruling India for 1000 years more went on doing good things like construction of roads,railways,postal,English education etc all firtheir convenience and benefit only,a d not on love for Indians.slowly British would have shifted to India to occupy all high posts and ruling country,treating Indians as secondary citizens in their own country by Dividing and rule( why Pakistan is created by them on,y).Why they looted all riches of ltr ancient India like diamonds/gold/other heritage valuables to their country,and why Indians were treated far interior to British in India itself.Now we are feeling British rule isfar better tthan present independent India mainly because our present political system became fully corrupted and compared to British constructions 100 years back our present one are substandard as on,you 69%goes into construction while 49% goes for commissions.Only wwhen politicians realize that the sacrifices made by freedom fighters for nearly 100 years resulted in freeing us India s from the clutches if foreigners and should strive to make people feel they are far better than under British rule by good governance law& order& development.jeediguntaGoa
