Who Created Modern India?

A part of credit goes to British Raj for making the Modern India.. says B P R VITHAL ,,

"the British did not come here to provide good government. They came to do business as the East India Company and later for the benefit of Great Britain. If, even so, they appeared sometimes to be better than native rulers, it gives us an idea of how our rulers of those days were. .."

"The British did better in education and health compared to the Indian princes. Our grievance arises only when we compare them to what free India could do in the 20th century. Yes, there were famines during the British rule, causing great distress."

"The British did not divide a united India. They united a divided India and that unity could not outlast their empire. The question is not whether the British came to help us. They came for profit. But we created the tragic situation in which a colonial power stepped in. We had an unpleasant choice, between the British, the French and the Dutch. Among them the British proved to be the best..."

KHUSHWANT SINGH, says,

"Despite their racial arrogance e.g. 'Whites Only Clubs' and crimes like the massacre of innocents in Jallianwala Bagh, they did a lot of good work as well. All our four metropolitan cities - Madras, Bombay, Calcutta and New Delhi - were built by them. So were our rails, roads, canals and the telegraph system. They introduced democratic norms in our municipalities, State and Central legislatures. Our constitution is patterned on theirs. Our law courts and system of Justice are also based on theirs. They gave us their language to make it ours to communicate with each other and the rest of the world. There was much less corruption in their time than it is today..."
