Certain high caste (higher social standing) individuals made a living off of aiding and abetting exploitative colonial leaders and their descendants today aspire to do the same. There are also some Indians who are Christians (often ones who's families were converted in the colonial era, not in ancient times) who feel that brings them closer to more the more regressive white people that run the US now.
Its a fascinating relationship but doesn't how Indians in general feel towards rising white supremacy in the US. For every bobby jindal there are 5 ro khannas.
