2.2 million is less than a 10th of the British library holdings. While technically the British library covers a much larger land area (all the imperial records and the like) there is still a concentration on subjects within the UK (total Indian records cover only 300K documents http://www.bl.uk/collections/orientaloffice.html )
Sounds like a good argument for repatriating records to India. :-)
That might help to redress the balance for what was taken away while India was under British occupation.
