The British Empire did good things and bad things. From the point of the people colonized, I'm confident it was a lot more bad than good. If you don't believe me, read up on the horrors of the Amritsar massacre, the botched partition of India or the treatment of Kenyan people during the Mau Mau rebellion. So I'm sure there is a lot to cover up. The faintest praise I can offer is - we weren't as bad as the Belgians.
