What reading level is The Hindu At Home, Being Sketches of Hindu Daily Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The dress of a woman is not very elaborate as to quantity or shape. A cloth or sari of some dehcate material and lovely colour, beautifully embroidered in fine gold, gracefully enfolds the figure; and this, together with a short tight-fitting bodice, forms the chief article of clothing, properly so called. There is no head covering other than the end of the sari thrown gracefully over the head so as to conceal the face at will. The lack of variety in garments is, however, made up by the number ...and value of the glittering jewels, which seem to occupy every available space, and which must, in spite of their beauty, be rather heavy and cumbersome to the wearer. So imperative is it at weddings that the bride should be decked out in jewels, that they are freely borrowed and as freely lent by the neighbours and friends upon so important an occa- sion.
This open display of valuables is a great temptation to the lawless, and deeds of violence are often done to get the jewels of the victim. On journies, especially in the common bullock cart of the country, robbers attack travellers for the sake of their jewels.
