Here is an insightful essay by Jayant Bhandari:
I have attempted to show that now that since the British left 70 years ago, Indian institutions have continued to fray, degenerate, degrade, and fall apart. The British left a robust judiciary, a university system, and parliament in place. Except for their facades, all these institutions are now soulless shells, something that politically correct intellectuals at the IMF, the World Bank, etc., completely fail to see.
The math is very simple: If Western institutions are to be imposed on India, such institutions must be run by Westerners as well. The corollary is also very simple: Without the British running India, India cannot continue to exist the way the British left it.

A similar situation exists in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc. We cannot force democracy on anyone anymore, not even immigrants to our own country.
And our failure to recognize this is causing us to waste trillions of dollars on a fool's errand.
By the way, what Bhandari is saying about India is quite similar to what I wrote about the US cargo cult:
