In this speech, Dadabhai Naoroji, an Indian, describes the effect of imperialism on India.
To sum up the whole, the British rule has been-morally, a great blessing; politically peace and order on one hand ... on the other, materially, impoverishment .... The natives call the British system . . . "the knife of sugar." That is to say there is no oppression, it is all smooth and sweet, but it is the knife, nevertheless.In later comments he stresses the negative aspects.Europeans [the British] occupy almost all the higher places in every department of govern- ment.... Natives, no matter how fit, are deliberately kept out of the social institutions started by Europeans. All they [the Europeans] do is live off of India while they are here. When they go, they carry all they have gained.
How is British imperialism both positive and negative for India?

well the good thing (positive) is that they have peace and order
but
the bad (negative) thing is that they live off of them=[
ONE POSITIVE THING IS THEY HAD PEACE AND ORDER AND ONE NEGATIVE EFFECT IS THE EUROPEANS LIVED OFF INDIA.
