Credit of Indians or not?

I think Credit of Indians because of the massive disobedience which followed since the Revolt of 1857. The British could not successfully hold foot in India and further governance -- since India became restless. So id say "Credit of Indians"

Take up the White Man's burden--
Send forth the best ye breed--
Go, bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait, in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild--
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.




Half devil and half child is the key phrase here.
