I do not deny that British rule did make available some benifits to the then ruling class and the elite the overall impact has been to impoverish India and leave it stunted in its growth. They systematically decimated India's indigenous industries and trade to make India totally dependant on Britain for all finished consumer and industrial goods. This is the only case (colonisation by England) in the History of human race in which a nation colonised and exploited other nations for such a long period illegitimately.
