What alternative outcome do you think would have pleased the Brits.

  How about the whole "Indian Independence" meme never really becoming a thing? Or only a relative few of the smaller Indian states breaking away from the Empire - and that going too poorly to inspire further break-aways?

    You mean India would still be a colony? That seems far fetched.

      Yeah - but not nearly so far-fetched as imagining than the British might be competent, decent, and far-sighted rulers. Of a distant land. Peopled by natives so very different from themselves.
