Hey mate here's your answer
India without British rule
1.There wouldn't have any Pakistan and Bangladesh. India would have divided into some 40–50 provinces and ruled from the power centre of the Maratha empire.
2.India may have been a lot richer. According to Dadabhai Navroji’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.
3.Yes, Britishers introduced Democracy and parliament election in India with the Indian Council Act of 1861. Without democracy, India would have governed by Monarchy rule till mid of 20th century. Maybe such election voting system would have come into existence after 1940–50.
4.There wouldn't have any famines in India. Almost 55–60 million Indians killed by famines during British rule.
5.The English language wouldn't be such an influential part of the Indian education system.
6.With such large area and population, India would have definitely been a part of UN Security Council.
Maybe Tibbet would also not be a part of China.
7.Britishers applied a policy of Divide and Rule in India. They divided Indians on religion and castes. They deliberately ruined the Indian education system. So I won't say that there wouldn't have been any hate between Hindus and Muslims but the impact of this hate would be way less without British rule.
•And what would happen if British did come to India
When the British left India, the nation was a burning mess. There were riots everywhere in the last years of the Raj and the administration proved thoroughly incapable of ruling India. Since agriculture was ignored for the most part, there were massive famines throughout the British rule. One of the most brutal ones was in the last couple of years of the Raj - Bengal famine of 1943. Industries were no better - very few major industries existed in India making the middle class go nearly extinct.
Caste system was appalling and the British Indian government found itself like deer in headlights - unable to get anything done to fix the problem. While the rest of the world was fast moving up, the 200 years of the colonization saw India's social systems at their worst. Landlords [Zamindars] were ruling the roost in most of India. The government let them have semi-slavery as long as they paid their dues. By 1947, things were too unbearable.
In politics things were messy too. There were all these independent kingdoms, each with their own systems and administration. India was ignored by most of the world and it had no real standing in the world community. Literacy rate was abysmal - little more than 10% of India could read & write when India got independent.
That is India in 1947. In the decades since, we had the green revolution - removing famine from India's lexicon. Zamindari was wiped and untouchability became illegal. Sure, our caste system is not removed, but it is better than what it was in 1947. Our literacy rates climbed 6 fold. Our economy boomed. We have far more peace than in the years of the Raj. We are now a major force in the world community.
If the British continued to stay in India due to some miraculous reason this same plight would have continued. Zimbabwe got their independence in 1980. Look at where they are now. Colonialism, like slavery, is a dark chapter in history. Let us not glorify that.
Hope this may help you.....If yes then pls mark it as a brainlist answer pls please and follow me

Answer:
If Britishers would not have come to India we would not have learnt the principles of equality ,liberty and fraternity. Also, our country would not have gone industrialisation and modern scientific methods. But there would have been no sufferage of people & we would probably be still living in the old traditional style. And if Britishers would not have introduced us to English (which is the second most spoken language in the world after Mandarin Chinese) we could not share our opinions, views, insights with the world. A country, of course needs development without the Britishers we would not have been where we are today.
