Is there any book depicting British rule in India from the eyes of British?

I very much enjoyed Indian society and the making of the British Empire by Christopher Bayly, published in 1988.
It is my understanding that this book has been somewhat influential in academic circles. It seems to be available in LibGen if that is legal in your country

One widely-read book in this vein is British India by R. W. Frazer, 1918, which you can consult on archive.org. See specifically Chapter XVI, "Moral and Material Progress Under British Rule".
