What reading level is India And Its Inhabitants book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The story is wound up with such poet- ical justice as might be expected in a Hindoo legend. The champions, having vanquished all the demons, offered, like hon- est men, to return the handkerchiefs ; but their patroness, in the spi^n of a grateful goddess, desired that they would retain them, not merely as memorials of their heroism, but as the implements of a lucrative trade in which their descendants were to labor and thrive. They were not only permitted, but commanded, to strangle men, as the...y had strangled demons. They forbore, indeed, to exercise this privilege for a long period, and several generations passed before Thuggee became practised as a profes- sion. Whether this forbearance was founded on the principle according to which a sportsman suffers game to accumulate, is not stated. The privilege slept ; but, though dormant, it was not lost ; and in due time it was abundantly exercised. The lapse between the grant of the patent and the use of it might tend to raise a presumption against its having been granted; but Hindoo casuists are not accustomed to scrutinize evidence with the severity which prevails in Westminster Hall.
