< why were there ANY atrocities on the British side ? > Presumably because authorities, as everywhere, try to keep a lid on the defiant people they have authority over or think they have. Just as in Canada, the police tasered and killed a mentally disturbed individual at an airport when he didn't know what to do and chucked some furniture. In the USA they killed a few people at Kent State University. In Beijing they killed a lot of people in the main square and that wasn't very long ago at all. China's bosses are not shy about murderous repression in Tibet either. You don't have to back a couple of centuries as you are doing to find murderous repression. Look at Libya just last year. Afghanistan today. Then there are the murderous individuals using the cloak of government authority to carry out their own vengeance or sadism. Your racist attitude toward the magnificent munificence of Victorian England's Anglos uplifting the hordes of India needs revision. If China had been ruled by Jolly Olde England in the 20th century, like New Zealand and Canada, with a great deal of local self-determination, they would have avoided the depredations of Japan's and Mao's maelstroms. Just today, a charming young Indian lady assisted me at the bank. If not for good olde Englande, she would be scraping together an impoverished existence in India, or worse. In India today there is violent repression of resistant groups. Heard of Kashmir? Even downtown Bombay has violent drama from time to time. Read about the partition of India [don't look at pictures].
