@britannic_edits: British Raj Edit Itโs just an edit donโt take it too seriously #britishempire #britishraj #britishindia #historyedit #rulebritannia
The British Empire should've never collapsed, a modernized British Raj would've been unstoppable. India was never fit to rule itself democratically, and you can see why when you look at it today.

the immense British investments in Indian infrastructure, irrigation and industry. By the 1880s the British had invested ยฃ270 million in India, not much less than one-fifth of their entire investment overseas. By 1914 the figure had reached ยฃ400 million. The British increased the area of irrigated land by a factor of eight, so that by the end of the Raj a quarter of all land was irrigated, compared with just 5 per cent of it under the Mughals. They created an Indian coal industry from scratch which by 1914 produced nearly 16 million tons a year. They increased the number of jute spindles by a factor of ten. There were also marked improvements in public health, which increased Indian average life expectancy by eleven years. * It was the British who introduced quinine as an anti-malarial prophylactic, carried out public programmes of vaccination against smallpox - often in the face of local resistance - and laboured to improve the urban water supplies that were so often the bearers of cholera and other diseases. And, although it is simply impossible to quantify, it is hard to believe that there were not some advantages in being governed by as incorruptible a bureaucracy as the Indian Civil Service. After independence, that idiosyncratic Anglophile Chaudhuri was sacked from All India Radio for dedicating his Autobiography of an Unknown Indian to โthe memory of the British Empire in India โฆ because all that was good and living within us was made, shaped and quickened by the same British Empire
We are not only the purest in intention but one of the most beneficent in act ever known to mankind, the British Empire is under Providence the greatest instrument for good that the world has seen. The widest system of organised human freedom which has ever existed in human history
