Raj means the British Rule in India. In an earlier post we have linked to the posts by two participants from Canada in a conference in Kolkata. In fourth of those articles one of them makes the following guess about British contributions to India:
1) The British united India by providing a common enemy. 2) British scholars (Sir William Jones) created the Asiatic Society in the 1784 and out of which came “Indology”, the study of the ancient Indian history. 3) They brought modern science at the same time as it was exploding in England, just after Newton and the rapid growth of industrialization.Good points. Except that these leave Muslims out of the loop.
