The same applies to literally every other nation at one point occupied/colonized by Europeans, like Hindus teaming up with Muslims, the invaders who destroyed their temples, forced their people to convert, taxed the ones who didn't, so they could kick out the British, who appreciated their architecture, studied their monuments and history, dug up ancient buried ruins and allowed both Hindus and Muslims to practice their religious and cultural rituals as they pleased.
What was done is not important, what matters is who did it.
