What would India be like today if Ghandi was removed from history?

>Do you believe that Britian would have eventually given it up?

They would be still big agitation for independance and GANDHI WASN'T the online. Also colonies were a huge burden after all that 20th century mayhem and Thin White Line policy isn't sustainable

Maybe like twenty more years of Colonial rule, possibly Enoch Powell would have acheived his lifelong dream of getting the Viceroy position before leading a phased withdrawl with better relations between Britain and India

Once Britain had to start giving people political and economic rights, the Empire was no longer cost effective. It was never really about Grandeur for the British like it was for the French, so once they saw the way the world was moving they adapted to the post-imperial world pretty quickly.

By which I mean that they would've left soon anyway.

I want to see how the colonial powers would try to retain their power over the colonies and keep up with the natives demands on top of not bankrupting themselves.

France have done it pretty well by keeping the Saharan states hobbled and dependent on them.

The independence movement had long preceded Ghandi and I think most Indians already had a desire or at least preference for sovereign rule.

it is not really conceivable that the UK could maintain colonial rule over an economy approaching its own size.
It's hard to imagine them forcing cities to remain relatively undeveloped just to produce dependence.

Like to retain the colonies into the 80's on would it be possible to turn colonies into like time capsules where they are deliberately locked in a 10+ years behind state policy? When I mean 10 years I mean if cellphone towers, Internet lines, telecom are only invested in once the cost has dropped over the years it's cheap as hell?

nothing too much. Post independence india though would be much less agrarian focused and indian politics wouldn't be a one trick socialism pony.
