The similitude is just amazing...
Just showing how your reasoning doesn't work. Unlike the US in America, the British are no longer in control of India. If they wished, they could have got rid of all links with British rule decades ago. They have not. That would suggest they appreciate at least some aspects of the Raj. One can argue that the tangible benefits of colonial rule was built using resources that belonged to the Indians anyway, and thus should not be credited to the British. But what about the intangible aspects they've chosen to keep?
