Southie, I don't have a problem if you wanna agree with Rajesh's statement. I still think it is qu"ite illogical. We are making assumptions that if the British didn't rule us...". Two things I think could have happened.. 1) The French might have ruled us...and unified us and taught us French, France is a Developed coutnry like Britain.And French ppl speak English too...and they weren't ruled by the British. 2) If no one ruled us, we would be like the states of America which had to go thru a civil war for unification. And similar there are many possibilities.....
So, there is no basis to say that the British rule did good to us. It would be silly and meaningless to say other wise.
