So Britain "screwed" India (how anyone in their right mind can argue that partition of India was worse than inevitable and catastrophic civil war is beyond me) and yet somehow, despite Britain, India managed to establish democracy (coincidentally the same model as Britain's), a legal system (coincidentally the same model as Britain's), infrastructure (British made roads, railways and bridges), universities, the banning of barbaric Indian practices like suttee and female infanticide, the suppression of thugs, the establishment of major important cities like Bombay (Mumbai) and Calcutta (Kolkata)... I could really go on too.

But seriously Indians have the temerity to think all that happened despite Britain, and not because of Britain?

And presumably when other British colonies developed similar infrastructure, stability, prosperity through trade, rule of law and/or democratic principles, it was also just mere coincidence; while most/all colonies of other European countries and the USA notably ended up as virtual failed states and/or dictatorships.

Yeah, what have the British ever done for us?
