What reading level is Half a Rupee: Stories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nine years … for a full nine years we kept at it—we fought and bled to get these cement roofs over your heads … to get this place recognized as a civic colony … and you have the audacity to say that we have squeezed you into boxes …?’ A belligerent tone had crept into the voice of the man from the party.
My husband would invariably pick an argument with him: ‘You call this place a colony? A civic colony? Looks more like a warehouse crammed to the roof with people … you have crated us into parcel...s …’ I sat behind the door, curtained from their arguments. What did a woman like me have to do with their politics? But my husband was not one to cow down.
‘Arre sala … between two buildings shouldn’t there at least be enough room for two handcarts to pass? The way these buildings have mushroomed, people going from this end cannot even walk past someone coming from the other.’ ‘What you talking, my man Methu? Stop exaggerating. Why two men … two police jeeps can pass each other … you can measure it any time.’ ‘Cut it out man, just cut it out … keep your hand on your heart … yes … now tell me, can you put two charpoys in here—gather in a few friends for a round of cards?
