What reading level is The History of India, From the Earliest Period to the Close of Lord Dalhousie's Administration book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The India House had hitherto assumed that any attempt to enlighten the people would create poUtical aspirations, which must endanger the power of the Company, and might lead to its subversion. This illiberal sentiment was not confined to Leadenhall-street ; it was the feeling of the age. In 1811 Sir John Anstruther, who had for many years enjoyed the dignity of chief justice in Calcutta, and obtained a seat in Parliament on his return, when the question of native education was incidentally intr...oduced in it, inquired, with a feeling of surprise, " whether it was really intended to illuminate the people of India, and whether it was exactly desirable to do so." The same views were prevalent in India, and no effort had been made, or even contemplated, to impart to the natives that knowledge to which Europe owed its distinction. Lord Hastings utterly repudiated this policy, and embraced the earliest opportunity after the Nepal war of proclaiming that "this Government never wiU be influenced by the erroneous position that to spread informa- tion among men is to render them less tractable and less submissive to authority.
