Colonial rule in India stopped Indian development compared to world standards, or regressed. Its primary contribution is to kill Indian capability to be a prosperous nation for a long time.
Colonialism killed :
- A pan Indian language with dozens of subsidiary languages, dozens of philosophies, some maths and most of Indian experience.
