What reading level is In India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They asked the other day for new axes, and the officer inquires, in their Him- alaya dialect, if they have got them yet. " No, O Presence, " says the monkey-whiskered headman. The ranger had been told to serve them out, and has not done it. Then off through the long grass that brushes your ears, breaking through tangles of bush, dodging under branches, wriggling over meshes of creeper; a distant tapping sharpens into the chock- chock of axes, then comes a burst of sunlight, and we are in a half...-open glade where coolies are felling and cross-cutting.
This particular work was reported by the ranger as finished three weeks ago ; it is still going on. And there you fall once more across the maddening, be- numbing clog of all work in India — the native sub- ordinate. In the law-court it is his dishonesty that most strikes you : here it is his indolent incapacity. And, indeed, if you cannot get good native magistrates and clerks, how shall you look for good rangers ? The ranger is probably a bunnia's son : that shopkeeper- usurer sees that education brings a livelihood, and 181 The Forest Officer educates his son for the public service.
