Agree 100% DK Singh: India was ruled by foreign Mughals for almost a thousand year. Its development in the fields of science & technology was stalled all through. They were only busy making forts, increasing the strength of harems or building Tajmahal in lust of a departed lover. Otherwise who can forget Bhaskaracharya, Shridharacharya, Aryabhatt, Charak, Shushruta, Jantar-Mantar maze of Jaipur & Delhi and Vedic mathematics? Who can deny the existence of a fully developed medical science in the form of Ayurveda with no side effect? Indian physicians excelled in pharmacopoeia, caesarean section, bone setting, and skin grafting. Not even 10% of Ayurveda is retrievable now but still able to create magic in some diseases. We lost 99% of our valuable documents in the destruction of Nalanda/Taxila University, temples, palaces etc. Majority of our knowledge was not even documented. They used to memorize everything including Vedas and simply pass on to next generation. But none of us, be it leaders or media or textbooks or Bollywood movies have the guts to denounce Mughals. For them only British were the main villains. We only talk of them ruining us & taking away all our wealth, all that we have been taught since nursery level. But have we ever tried to think otherwise? Only British could give us a unified India which was otherwise having thousands of princely states. Only they could liberate us from Mughals. They did not destroy our heritage; temple, palace, fort, religious document. How much money, manpower and resources India would need if asked to build a railway network that we inherited? Indian postal network right up to your door step at so low price is unparalleled in the world. They gave us the modern education system which equips the society to grow; otherwise we all would have been practicing Madarsa education, still followed in many parts of the world. They did not give us electrical power network and so we are still struggling to receive non-stop supply after 60 years of independence.
