Doc #5: India: A Restatement

This excerpt, from India: A Restatement by British writer Sir Reginald Coupland, points out the social and economic impact of imperialism on India.

British rule brought with it from the West certain standards of humanity that Indian society had not yet reached. Early action was taken to stop infanticide [the killing of girl babies] .... The slave trade was ended and the owning of slaves was forbidden .... One result of the new order was a steady rise in the value of India's export trade.

What are the benefits of imperialism identified by this author?
