British in India: Good or bad?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 23rd, 2018 11:40 PM Author: abnormal generalized bond Was British colonialism in India a net positive or negative? Everything on the internet says India would be THE superpower if not for those evil Brits, which makes me question what exactly happened through 1949. Any different/recent perspective that dare challenges the basic assumption India would be a great power but-for Brit influence? Looking for an unbiased take.

What source can help me cut through the quagmire? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3869139&forum_id=2#35223348) |
