..."who built india's railroads, civil service, roads and other critical infrastructure?"...

You aren't suggesting that the Brits did this out of purely philanthrophic motives are you? Hmm.. the rail-roads were for shipping off cheap raw materials back to York to the factories. Civil Services, coz not too many of the educated young gentlemen from good ol' Britain were too keen on an Indian posting, what with the heat, poverty, diseases and all. Roads because India is actually pretty big in size and was bigger pre-independance.

On the topic of philanthrophy, why didn't they industrialize India as much as the UK?

Yeah they built those stuff only to exploit India better. And what about Jallianwala bagh? The British Raj can actually make Red Communist China look like fairy tale land.
