  1. India, by 1750 when the Brits started to expand, already were a strongly divided country with many small local rulers that was often in endless wars with their neighbors, sadly. The Brits, or more correctly a private merchant company in the first place, East India Company, could never had taken control if India was a strong united empire at the time. But it belongs to history. One needs to look forward and let the past to rest.

  2. India was taken in control by the Brits because India was a weak empire at the time, 1750, and many local rules cooperated with the Brits in order to stay rich and in local control. Stop complaining. History is history. China, South Korea, Japan, all big industrial nations, also have difficult history. They don't sit and complain and to blame others, but look forward and work work.
