This is a pretty complex question. I can comment generally on it. For all the faults of the British Empire, they did build a strong infrastructure in India. This gave Indians greater access to education and resources that they might not have had without the British. It would be educated Indians like Mahatma Gandhi who would use facets of industrialization to fight for autonomy from the British.
