That's interesting because for a long time there's been this right-wing narrative about how "India benefited from British colonization."

I suppose the British did introduce some technology and civic systems, but they also probably fractured the society and created a new kind of caste system.

How much of today's seeming culture of corruption in India is a legacy of colonialism vs. how much was there already? I'm asking because I'm only looking from a distance.

Also makes me wonder if the Chinese cultural revolution, while a disastrous failure on very many levels, might have erased a lot of the legacy of past colonialism... for the same reason that a gigantic natural disaster might lead to shiny new infrastructure after everything gets rebuilt.
