Colonization is not responsible for India's poverty. It is the plunder and loot by the successive govts, bureaucrats and babus that has made India poorer. Atom Bomb doesn't make a country stronger. It is the condition of its inhabitants, the GDP, the economy and the social status that make the country stronger or weaker. Malasia doesn't have an Atom bomb but just look at the strides of progress they have made in less than 50 years.
