I’m pretty sure India had law and order and infrastructure long before the British invaded and colonized it. And Britain benefited from the slave trade for a long time before working to abolish it.
As far as prevented genocides, I’d ask an indigenous Australian how they feel about Britain preventing genocide.
Honestly, I’m willing to give Britain the slave trade bit. Slavery is ancient, and choosing not just to break free of it, but to actively work for its suppression across the world, deserves some credit, at least.
Weird, because I’ve seen pictures of India and it looks to me like there are things like roads and rails.
Also, I never said there was a country called India before the British came. Would you have preferred it if I had done a big list of all the kingdoms they conquered? I felt “India” was faster.

The rest, though? Y I K E S
Really? We still don’t have law and order and infrastructure in India. Also we weren’t a country called India before the British came.
