From 1886 to 1937 Burma was a province within British India.
"On 1 April 1937, Burma became a separately administered territory, independent of the Indian administration. The vote for keeping Burma in India, or as a separate colony "khwe-yay-twe-yay" divided the populace, and laid the ground work for the insurgencies to come after independence."

Yes, Upper Burma was annexed by Churchill as a New Year present to Queen Victoria on 1 January 1886 and reunited with Lower Burma in a single province within British India. The capital may have been captured and the king deported, but Burma had not been defeated and annexation unleashed widespread resistance that proved very hard to control, let alone crush. Not until 1896 was the war finally over, making the Third Burmese War the largest and longest of the "small wars" fought by the British during the 19th century. Kipling's poem 'The Road to Mandalay' is now all that most people in Britain remember of it.

India has not been part of the British Empire since 1947, when it, and Pakistan gained their Independence. Since then the two countries have been at each throats.
