They removed moghuls as early as possible to restore the law and order and built united India. This is one of the India's blessing against curse.
The crappy Rajputs were responsible for the defeat of Prithvi's against Gori's. Prithvi might have changed the India fate or Rajedra Cholan might have. They failed.
The curse was strong and India faced tumultous times until British come and rescue. Otherwise the 10000 glory never been established as we are talking now.
This is the historical fact never lies as our politicians do.
They surveyed, put all infrastructure(road, bridges, dams, court, post office, law, constitution and many many..)
They built bridges still serving. Our useless crappy PWD constructed 4 way bridge on east coast around 1999 when I was in Chennai. They tried blast the old bridge which was still serving 10 metres next to the new bridge. The comedy was the new bridge collaped completely but nothing happened to the old bridge. It was again serving until new bridge opened.
They made committee to investicate why the new bridge collaped.
That really made me respecting British.
Also they made irrication systems in Thanjavur still effectively used today.
Also 80% TN road bridges currently serving are constructed before 1920.
Chennai still using 80% gov buildings are British made old buildings.
So we need to understand pros and cons of British rule and regardless of some atrocities they made still British rule helped us.
Yes i accept, british gave "infrastructure" for India, but they did this for thier better admin and not for the common men.
So i don't accept "British changed the fate of India" even our earliers construction are far far better than british buildings, y to go far away " take our RAJARAJESWARAM morethan 1000 yrs old, Take GKC , Kallanai, we can give very big list... and y the first Road given by Shersha( a short term ruler in middle of Mugals) from Delhi to Bengal still in use.
Pls don't take account of the present PWD building and come to conclusion.
I am not supporting british rule but comparatively moghuls they did better to India in terms of
1. Immediate ending of moghuls(India relieved from tumultous moghul anarchy) 2. Infrastructure 3. Administration 4. United India
I didn't compare british with our ancient glories.
Taking the period from 1400 AD to 1947 AD, british done their best to India compare to moghuls.
They also looted but less in comparison with our own politicians post independence times.
So by comparing pros and cons british rule were better. If they hadn't arrived here during 1750 AD, India might become Islamic nation or chaotic country. If british wasn't arrived no historians ever established our great history by then and you wouldn't talk Chola or Maurya this time.
By considering historical realities it would be appropriate that british changed the fate of India with pain as Pakistan permanently.
See our gov and politicians half the century talking about bilateral talks and nothing resolved including Kavery water dispute.
