I am not blaming British. It's just a fact that the places they ruled strongest are generally poorer compared to those places where they didn't.

Yes you are blaming the British. By the way have you heard correlation does not imply causation?

First of all your original comment is factually wrong. Bombay and Pune were British controlled so your theory is wrong that non British controlled areas are doing better.
