India had a lot of mineral wealth, gold, diamonds, silver. The Arabs plundered it, more than any amount plundered by the Brits. Hinduism is still a wonderfully lax religion where the belief system is dependent on the believer. It's the story whose creation myths and timelines (9 billion years since the birth of the universe) are the closest to science. The freedom of people, scholars and patronage of arts by kings between the years 500 BC and 1100AD contributed a shitload to world knowledge and in particular led to the magnificent Islamic golden age which had a knock on effect into the renaissance in Europe.
Genghis is right about the sexual attitudes of Indians, British colonialism really fucked them over, you only have to read the accounts of Muslim invaders and Arab traders of the Indian population to realise this. Have a read about Vijayanagar, a huge empire in South India in 1500, it's capital of Hampi was the largest and most populated city in the world at the time, there's some excellent quotes about the Indians and the city by catholic and Islamic visitors.
