Fascinating. Having both Indian and British parentage I’ve often felt conflicted about Britain’s history in India. On trips to India I’ve been struck by the fact that despite hundreds of years of British rule, India is still India. By that I mean Indian cultures, languages and religion seem on the face of it to have survived largely intact from British rule. Based on your reading do you think was this because the British were unable to change them or simply uninterested?
