Ah, another lapdog of ol' blighty defending British Imperialism.

India has one of the fastest growing economies in the world and may even surpass ol' blighty within my lifetime. F--k the Tories and their sadness of the "loss of the Raj."

That's at the outside edge of possible. According to my calculations and Nationmaster, if you live 40 more years and the UK only grows in per capita terms 0.5% a year over that term (a low estimate), India would have to grow on average 6.34% per capita over that span. Possible, but just barely. It appears to have turned the corner, but is still a very poor country.

But all people should welcome the rise of India independently of geopolitics.
