Indeed. I certainly don't mean to defend the British empire.
The way i would frame this, though, is that the difference between the UK and India is only in how much the railway-builders and so on could get away with. They would have done the same to British people if they had had the chance.

People who argue for peace, forgiveness and solidarity are often victimised - vide Socrates, Jesus, Gandhi and so on - and venomous populists are venerated as heroes.
