the only lives being fucked over would be your children and grand children's for perpetuity. india is currently a shithole not because of britishers saar, but because it has a very low quality populace that only lies and scams each other. you won't ever fully industrialize, because that requires a high trust population and surplus capital. india has no resources and does not run a trade surplus, and ai is going to soon replace most labour, so your chances of industrializing, which requires tremendous capital, anytime soon is slim. manufacturing probably moves to sea and south america, you're surrounded by hostile neighbours, and you've burned out your cachet with the west with how obnoxious your "people" have been. before you know it your demographic dividend is gone, with nothing to show for it. you may even become majority muslim this century. imo, your chances are dim. probably balkanized and fall into sectarian violence based on caste/religion/region/ethny as people lose trust in the state for improving material conditions, and cracks become bigger, as they've already appeared in places like the northeast, kashmir, khalistan, etc. the more developed south may even secede.
