That area was usually pretty well split up between several factions.

Friend of mine in college was from India. He told me that they talk badly of when the English ruled but admitted that everything they have in regard to infrastructure was due to the English and that they were better off. Heck, most of the countries in that region still use the same trains that the English brought there.
