Japanese cannot take credit for creating China as much as British cannot for creating India. There was a shared common culture defined by time and ecological barriers.

But the 2nd independence movement salvaged most of the land & resources within a liberal democratic setup. No one who came before British, including Mughals, carried out the amount of violence that British did. British prevented industrial revolution to reach India by force even though Indian math, metallurgy, textiles and capital funded it. They decimated relatively more gender-equal ecological cultures. Communities with positive gender ratios changed to negative, while opposite happen in Britain. Birth ratios doubled while they reduced in Britain. Even before Bengal Famine British had many famines in India by design. They created funded and backed landlordism apart from creating 3000+ new castes. Mughal taxes of x% changed to x0% and x00%, to be recovered by plunder. British people benefited immensely from British Raj. They do today also. Entire new cities and public institutions came into being as the British Govt used East India Company's plunder to industrialize Britain *and fund social services like healthcare using that loot* , at cost of India cities, social services and people. EIC cannot be separated from the British government & citizens. Example: The prohibitory duties on Indian textiles, set by EIC created biz & employment for the destitute of Paisley and Manchester. ("..had not such prohibitory duties and decrees existed, the mills of Paisley and Manchester would have been stopped in their outset, and could scarcely have been again set in motion, even by the power of steam. They were created by the sacrifice of the Indian manufacture.” H. H. Wilson, “ History of British India". ) As to colonialism being civilized, the worst trick they use is on women, even today, because they know how much and how many women get decimated : "your uncivilized men are the problem, not our Neo-liberal policies (like microfinance: reduction of women into group-lending tiny loans instead of redistributing land and capital to them). Indian man bad. Middle-eastern man bad. We will keep dropping bombs and funding extremists elements who mirror our economics...but we do it for women of course". *Also, this is exactly what USA is doing today with 800+ military bases. Somethings never change indeed.* For example, during the Obama years, Hillary's job as Sec of State was to use US Embassies to peddle US corporate interests backed by military might to coerce politicians.
