How so? British rule was one of the strong over the weak, and of exploiting other groups for the specific benefit of their own, and the primary distinction in this context was that they were able to supply clearly-defined power and stability through that power in contrast to those fighting for power in the resultant power vacuum who are arguably doing nothing more than trying to follow the same principle of unequal rule of force for the benefit of their own group.
Multiple cultures have co-existed in India and elsewhere for centuries, and
Indians claim to have given the British and the world a lesson on tolerance and peace, while colonial powers have been
known to exploit and hence heighten ethnic divisions for their own benefit and disastrous results upon departure.
The bit about "product of the British education system" is especially bad, because that same British education system was responsible for the continued intellectual stagnation of India as it was meant to produce, as it did, subservient clerks to help manage a vast subservient bureaucracy. To claim that the likes of Ghandhi and Aurobindo, who fought against British rule, were mere "products of the British education system" is to demean them. Aurobindo has written much on the subject, which he knew it by living it, and makes that specific point -- that the remaining points of vitality in India during British rule were the schools which taught in the ancient Indian languages and maintained a connection with that philosophy, and didn't allow themselves to be entirely degraded to the task of producing subservient clerks well-versed in the superiority of mother England.
That said, Aurobindo also states that British rule was an act of Nature caused in part by the stagnation of an aged and stale religiosity in India, and that to be ruled by Britian was far better than for example a rule by Germany or Russia might have been -- cultures which would not have been as concerned about looking good.
But that was then and this is now, and it's all good, and bad, depending on how you look at it.
