The British expanded at the expense of the Indians, and nothing that they did actually benefited the Indian locals. Put it this way, when the British came to India, they weren't even the richest in Europe, but when they were in charge they were.

By the end of the British rule - literacy rates were at 12%. This meant that very few people had the skills required to thrive, and this meant that India had to spend more money on education and had to take more socialistic governments, which created more equality and allowed greater access to healthcare etc, before we could liberalise the economy, as if we had done earlier, there was a risk that many people would struggle, or that our economy would have become like the Chinese.

However, I will argue that if the right government had been chosen after independance, a partnership of Sardar Patel as PM and Nehru or Bose as President, then we would have seen a far earlier conversion to capitalism and the huge economic growth would have seen more money is available for investment into healthcare and other key areas, thus hastening the development of the nation.

2. The British took all of the industry - for example the world famous hand loomed cotton and silk clothing that we produced, and destroyed them and took it all with them to the "great" manufacturing city of Manchester. This meant that the Indian's production had ceased and thus they had gradually lost their share of the worlds' economy, which slumped from 25% in 1700 to 2% in 1947.
