The story was fabricated by London police for some ulterior motive.
You poor, deluded, boy. You have no idea how out-of-touch you are. Did you ask yourself why it is so important for you to believe this to be a "fabrication"?

What colonial troops could get away with the London police cannot, not with so much public involvement in this process, anyway. Nor can you have an actual picture of British colonialism, as you are at least two generations away from experiencing it.
The ruling classes who demanded independence, do you think they did it for "India" or "Pakistan" or because, being British-schooled, realized they could grab the perquisites of power for themselves if they waved the banner of "freedom" under British noses? What kind of history do you think they were likely to teach you?
On the other hand, no one can hide the fact that hundreds of thousands of Indian troops served the British willingly and enthusiastically in two world wars. The Brits "let go" rather easily.
British colonialism, at least towards the end, was not about mastery. It was a partnership. When India wanted to break it, the Brits departed.
Haven't you ever wondered if the Indian Subcontinent would have been happier if it had remained a peaceful Dominion like Canada, raather than dividing into the government-dominated and religiously warring states of today?
