Technology isn't the problem, but rather people. This is my view.
It's possible to use technology without getting absorbed into it. But nobody really cares to emphasize this aspect of tech usage, we just arrogantly indulge ourselves and fry our dopamine receptors, then complain about why everything in real life is so boring and slow

This is all true, but I think this is a problem with PEOPLE and not with tech

Can you elaborate?
I’m pretty sure the princely states outside of the nizams had higher GDP per capita than the Raj. Mysore (or maybe it was travancore) for example had electricity while the rest of the Raj was basically in poverty
Not to mention that nearly all industry in india collapsed when the British took over and there was a huge efflux of people from cities into rural areas. So rural poverty became a huge problem

Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t the yellow areas in this map not even 2/3 of the subcontinent?
To my understanding the British Raj was much poorer and less productive per capita than the relatively autonomous princely states

It’s also worth mentioning that the British didn’t really “capture” india through conquest or war. Nor did they directly rule the entire subcontinent.
