"Do the needful at the earliest" is the poster-child, but I'm struggling to find a great list to link. The effective divergence time is much longer than since 1947 -- I believe that around 1900 people in England thought their cousins in India a generation behind in dress & everyday speech. And formal bureaucratic terms were already ossified, another classic is "out of station" (as in, out of town, away from the office) which IIRC is from east-india company days.
