All empires feel the same way.Still it was a better relation.All those ancient big structures in SE Asia ,we had contributed a lot.
Bet they did.Even Mughals that was brutal did well in economic sector .They didnt looted from here to ship it in to some foreign nation.
Academic estimates from sociology departments are worth less than fresh dog shit. Never read any study from such that wasn't wrong and riddled with bad assumptions. When British trading companies arrived, Indians signed up to their forces and the British army just for a regular wage. SO don't pretend that everything was fantastic in India before 1751. You were under Muslim rule for a start.But Brits was really concentrated on looting.
That too in industrial scale.Your own academic estimates that is around 45trillion$.

Thy name Hypocrisy.India offers Russian oil a back door into Britain
UK steps up imports from India's biggest refinery, which imports crude from Russiawww.telegraph.co.uk
So is non-freedom, check out your GDP/capita and everyone leaving.This is how our Western European friend helps their Eastern European brother Ukraine.
Dont worry your dopple ganger US is on top.
Freedom is very expensive
And you've seen their technology, it's crap. They've spent 11 months getting the shit knocked out of them by a non-major European power who nobody would have given a cat in hell's chance.Russians not only give us weapons but full ToT .That help us to upgrade their average electronics .TBH we want to delink Russian weaponry from our inventory.We hope we will reach there in a decade.
