British rule in the India was worst thing which could happen to any country. The british empire started its empire as pirrates, it looted, destroyed and invaded several kingdoms within India and last battle was in 1857 when last mughal emperor was deposed thus putting an end of 1000 years of Muslim rule in India. India back then was 2nd biggest economy in the world contributing 22% to the overal world GDP, by the time british left it was less than 0.1%, slavery, poverty was everywhere then. People of India were the educated in India where as poor british were living in penury in Britain, There used no thief or poverty in India, the level of wealth was so much that Lord Macauly told british parliamentarian ''I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace the old and ancient education system, her culture, because if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native self-culture and they will become what we want them to be, a truly dominated nation'' so this is what british gave India poverty, slavery, war, genocide, discrimination, took away all the resources turned India into o e of poorest country in the world.

When Muslim ruled India was gold and when British came it took away all the gold leaving behind dust.
