The British gave India oppression and discrimination. It took away its Natural Resources and wealth. On the positive side it united India which had been many different principalities before, built a good civil service, great infrastructures, one of the world's greatest railway systems. got rid of the Thuggee cult which had claimed over a million victims. (this brought Britain some loyalty and support).
Women were treated quite poorly in native India before the British. The custom of "suttee" was prohibited, thankfully, with the invasion of the British. Also, the killing of female infants was monitored and measures were taken to stop it. The first comission set by British to evaluate the Indian context for their position recommended that Indians are very strong with their will power because of their education. So, to break them, the education system should be changed.

How did british rule both help and hurt India?
The fact that they didn't get politically involved with the "kaste" system, keeping intact the already existing societal differences and exploiting people of a lower kaste much like nowadays Indian society still has people who have 50 children (ages between 4-11) working for them in a clothing factory, or women of a lower "kaste" in Indian society not having any legal stature in cases of rape, like recently was shown to still be the case.Hence what was wrong about British rule in India was the fact that they only took, exploited and abused India as a whole, only to leave it intact with all of it's inhumane societal differences. They did not bring democracy, culture of equality.
