I'm not Indian, but I've worked closely with Indian colleagues and friends for a large part of my career. India is a huge country with varied religions, cultures and subcultures, so I don't know if you can really infer anything from replies, but I'll add an anecdote into the mix. As a Brit, I've been interested in how Indians relate to the UK today. To my great surprise, I've always had replies that are magnanimous, and even grateful for the things the empire left behind - a unified India, democracy, the English language, and thebl railways. For context, everyone I've spoken to works in the IT industry, and they don't think India would play such a role in the global IT industry if it hadn't been a British colony.
