The three-century long British stay in India that ended on 14th August 1947 with the partitioning of the country, is perhaps never ever reported positively. Yes, there were numerous instances of the British empire mal-treating its Indian subjects that eventually made the locals demand 'Quit India' and/or 'Civil Disobedience'.

Had the Empire been more level-headed to give the Indians the previlages and honors it gave to the home population, India and Britain would have been totally different societies today.

Whatever the Britons did to India, they still deserve to be complimented for the vision and foresight they had for the development of the country, maybe, even if it was for their own strategic survival.
