Ahh, early retirement for a billion people!!
I doubt it, you would still piss it up against a wall !
And as for "BTW, when would you guys be able to return the wealth that you "took" from us?"
That was payment for making you a near as could be first world country
,
otherwise you would be still back in the stone ages !

We were quite prosperous before you guys came therefore the argument of civilizing us does not hold. The fact that you guys used military means against a peaceful country and stole from them gives an idea of how "civilized" you people were!!!!
And who gave you people the right to decide what is good for others? We do not want your kind of "civilization" which is based upon colonialism and exploitation of others. To this day you people attack other countries deciding what is good for them. According to you guys, democracy is good for some while in other places you work to topple democratically elected governments!!
Anyways, the good news is that you have f**ked up so many people that sooner or later ...................... . Good Luck!

Try and think about these questions and you would understand India better.
BTW there is lot of corruption in western countries as well. But someone would need to piss me off a bit more for that.
Ecce Homo! Loquitur...

You had the Maharaja's who spent copious amounts of money on
things "English", including some of the best English gun collections
in the world.

Actually, it was a network of warring kingdoms. The small number of East India Company troops were able to succeed to the degree they did by exploiting the divisions and using the strength of neighbouring states against each other.
And they wouldn't have their railway system

There are lots of Englishmen who say that the British Empire exported civilisation. Very doubtful, but there is one piece of evidence in support of that claim: there is bvgger all civilisation left in the UK.

so ??
"BTW, when would you guys be able to return the wealth
that you "took" from us?"
Where did the Maharaja's get their wealth from ?
From Indians ?
They still had the wealth when the British left.

"We were quite prosperous before you guys came "
Maybe a few poncy Brahmins and military Sihks were, but how about the majority: the poor starving masses, your "untouchables" down at the foot of the wealth table? Those millions living literally the scraps from the waste bin, so despised that if one of you high caste prima donnas as much as stepped in the shadow of one (let alone touched one) you had to go off for god knows how many days of ritual purification (and probably rectal irrigation and mutal backrubbing if I know anything)
Admit it - before the west arrived (and it wasn't just the brits: the french germans and portugese all had territories in India in the 20th century, some until the 1960s - way after we'd gone) India was a land of ragged starving beggars overseen by a regime of money grabbing avaricious feudal elites.
Its a wonder there was never a revolution in pre-British India, along the lines of France - but then I guess the population was so poorly fed they didn't have the strength to get out of bed, let alone fight

Well, I only saw a very small part of Bombay area when I was there (1980)
and the contrast between the two India's still sticks in my mind to this day.
I can still remember the slums, shanty's, beggars versus the nicer area
of the city.
So at least at that point nothing much had changed.
The Maharaja's were obviously not as wealthy then as before
as they were selling of great collections of things at what you
might say were very cheap prices !!!

Well, when I read comments by pious naive fools who attempt to retcon history into a story in which the western imperial powers are responsible for all the third worlds self inflicted overpopulation ills, I get so annoyed that I want to vomit words.
