How might the British improvements have benefited India after it gained its independence from Great Britain?

The British presence in India did cause a negative impact, but it also had positive consequences.

Explanation:

To start, the British unified the country, which can be seen as a negative to many people, but also as a positive for many others. India is one of the largest countries in the world, the second most populated, and this gives it a geopolitical standing that it would otherwise not have.

The British also built the extensive rail network that crosses most of India, and that is an essential part of Indian economy and society.

Finally, the British developed many political and legal institutions. Indian Law is an offshoot of British common law for example.
