Sandeep, I think it is idiotic to think that the present condition of India is better than what it was during the British rule and at the time the British left. The current state is somewhat like what the British found the subcontinent in when they took over. If Gandhi were to be present here, I wouldn't be surprised if he launched a "Come Back to India" movement, exactly 60 years after he launched the "Quit India" movement... Nearly everything that is modern in India today was initiated by the British -- modernization of the economy, education, transportation and communication systems, judicial system, and so on. They introduced India to parliamentary democracy. And they gave India political and administrative unity. But for the British rule, the subcontinent today would have been in all probability fragmented into a large number of small states.
