What reading level is The Gazetteer of the Central Provinces of India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here was an irruption of soldiers, flushed with victory, among a people whose past history had been singularly free from " wars and rumours of wars,'' thus creating a community markedly timid and unwarlike. As a natural result they were trodden down unmerciftdly, and their country robbed and desolated.
To realise what the country must have sufiered between a. n. 1740 and 1818, we have to remember that not only was a considerable Mardthd force perma- nently maintained in Chhattisgarh, but that l...arge armies were often traversing the country, not only living on the people, but literally fleecing them. Then there were the raids of the Pindhdris, whose depredations were connived at by the BhonsU government, and a regular black mail accepted by the rdjd or his oflBcials from the booty acquired in pillaging the people. Add to all this the exactions and oppressions of the MarSthd sdbas, already referred to, who exercised the chief civil authority, and we need not be surprised that during the half century which immediately followed the Mardthi conquest the country materially retrograded, and tracts relapsed into waste which had formerly been reclaimed and cultivated.
