pms speech about the british raj

dear sir,
i dont know what was the pm thinking when he praised the british raj.did he forget that british were "colonizers" the very definition of the word colonize means enslaving one country and exploiting them for their own country.  the literacy rate of india during 1947 was 11% now indias literacy rate is 69%
we achieved this in 50 years which the british raj didnt do in 200 years , we are talking about the problem of casteism in our country , we were ruled by foreigners who only seem to encourage casteism by using the communal card , appeasing one sect against another . this is the modus operandi of the british raj , the schools they started were all christian missionaries and the people they educated were all used by the raj in other colonies . i know that there is a sect here in india like sashi tharoor , karan thapoor who are anglophilians but i didnt expect this from our PM .comeon he is the primemimister of our country not some western motivated novelist like sashi tharoor.i hope that he only said out of coutesy of the oxford university felicitation.cause if he really meant it im worried.
 
we were a pathetic llot of slaves during british raj, 3 million died in bengal due to famine , we didnt have any rights in our country.but the most lasting impression which colonisation has made is that it created a psychological scar in the indian mind, indians think of "whites " as superior race, look at the fairness cream ads , if thats not psychological or inferiority complex then what???
we have grown to become the 4th largest economy in the world (ppp)only due to freedom and protecting the rights of the poor who were exploited by the british appointed zamindars.
 
wake up , countrymen. i was born in free india in 1984, to me india is the best, there is no better country than india , i hope you old guys would realise that as well
 
 
thank you,
