The top two are the most important plus points the rest was incidental. We hold no grudge against the British though.
all the above was to save their own rear
1) to rule whole land rather than in parts
2) Democracy?????????????
3) to save their own rears after 1st world war, they built railways, so that raw materials can be moved from interiors to the ports quickely. regarding the education, they did need some one to help them rule the country
4) wanted to rule the country, so had to have some police force, but in that they created a huge behmoth of beaurocratic mess
5) save their own rear, btw which country had the guts to wage a war against us during british period except during ww2

BTW i only find angl indians and christians praising british rule
