As a Brit I'm happy to admit we did some shitty things in India, as well as elsewhere, during the colonial era. However at this point we're both happy members of the commonwealth with a decent relationship and a decent amount of cultural osmosis from each other. I mean our current prime minister is of Indian descent.
There's a different between India and some other ex-colonial nations in that they aren't still moaning about it and saying they need reperations, etc 70 odd years after the end of the empire. India got on with it as an independent nation and become one of the world's fastest growing economies.

Happy to admit? Then tell your government to admit then? How does your PM being of Indian descent make this fact any better?
Have you read Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India by Shashi Tharoor?
Moaning? Read the book my man. You sound very clueless…
