They did the same in Iraq and Nigeria, where disparate ethnic and religious groups were pushed together so as to weaken the people's independence there when they "let" them have it after the major upheavals of the mid-20th century. This allowed the UK to continue exploiting their ex-colonies vis-a-vis their strong (and exploitative colonial) ties with these countries. This effect continues today.

The population of Ireland has still to return to pre-potato-famine levels.

This is also true of Singapore, which, before the British, was also a major port of trade.If you want to talk about where the British went, you'd also be wise to add countries like: Sudan, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Sierra Lionne, Cameron, Nigeria, Algeria, Iraq, etc. You can't just cherry-pick the one's that did well.Not to mention, the places that are doing "well" (Canada, Australia, NZ, USA) experienced major cataclysmic genocides of aboriginal people. Magic! An entire continent or two can be opened up and the wealth shared more broadly among colonizers! Hideous.

Before the British you would have gone by your Kingdom not Country of India, and the partition was due to the inadequacy of religions to live together without someone telling them not to fight.

For almost a century HK was the richest place on earth qith NO resources, while China next door with masses of resources was in pennery. Lets look at places the British went, China, India, Canada, US, NZ, AUS, Falklands, Bermuda, Egypt, South Africa, and more, whats common? They are the wealthiest, healthiest parts on earth. And as to the US which became independant earlier, what major difference? A shambles of a healthcare system, and a Union that monitors peoples phone calls, -soon internet?!- and monetry transactions.
