I think this is fascinating, not just to the Idea of British India, but the same concept would extend to French Algeria, Belgian Congo and the Russian Expansion into Asia.
How would one look at an empire? From which point of view? Personally, I think its best to do pros and cons, economical, cultural, industrial, and technological advances, but to also showcase at the cost it came, and how it affected local people of the regions. Definitely an interesting topic of any Empire.
