Answer:
1. The country may have been richer.
According to Dadabhai Naoroji’s book, “Poverty And Un-British Rule In India”, the amount of wealth drained by the British from Indian resources amounted to 4 million pounds every year. Therefore, India may not have been a “third world” nation in the first place, had the British never ruled the country.
2. What about Democracy?
There’s hardly any suggestion of democracy in pre-British India. The British introduced the Parliamentary elections in India with the Indian Council Act of 1861. It was the first time that Indians could vote for the Lok Sabha which translates to “Council of the people”.
Although the British would retain responsibilities for the defense and foreign affairs of India, they did introduce electoral systems to the country which otherwise may have remained a monarchy for years to follow.
3. World War II wouldn’t have affected India
India had always been a peaceful nation and would have nothing to with the World War II had it not been under the rule of the British. More than two million sons of our soil were sent to fight the Axis powers in a war we had nothing to do with.
The unscrupulous wartime policies of the British to supply food to soldiers at war led to the shortage of food in Bengal and Bihar causing millions of deaths out of starvation. The devastation of the Second World War was not something India ever needed.
4. The formation of a consolidated army
Today, India has one of the strongest defense in the world. However, it would have been difficult for India to form such a strong army today had it not been trained for warfare under the British.
Contradicting the previous point, India’s involvement in the World War helped the country form a discipline needed in international warfare and handling modern ammunition and incorporating advanced battle techniques could have remained far-fetched for India without the British influence.
5.The abolition of Sati
The most heinous Hindu practice where a widow would be burnt alive on the pyre of her deceased husband was finally abolished in 1829 in certain parts of India, starting from Bengal and rest of the Princely states followed suit. Apparently, Mughal king, Akbar, and Aurungzeb had tried to ban the custom but their implementations were not fruitful
However, we would have missed the Anglo-Indian culture that has become an integral part of the country, had the British never been here.
