What reading level is The Indian Countryside a Calendar And Diary book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The mild Hindu who shudders at the taking of life is a paradox, if indeed he is not a 196 A SAND-STORM sham. He will spare the parasites which infest his body ; yet he will ride his pony with bleeding galls upon its back ; he will overload the poor little donkey till he can barely crawl, and will twist the tails of his long-suffering cattle until he twists them off. His character is a peculiar mixture of kindness and cruelty, of honesty and dishonesty, of courage and cowardice, of morality and ...immorality ; and if his rulers are unable to quite understand him the fault is not all theirs.
A sand-storm. The bearer came in this afternoon (June 1 6), about three o'clock, to announce that a kala andi (black storm) was approaching. Stepping outside, I found that the man's statement was not far from the truth ; for a great dust-cloud, very nearly black in colour and extending across half the horizon, was advancing from the west. People were A SAND-STORM 197 flying in all directions seeking shelter, and the village herds went by at a trot with the boys behind them, shouting, "Andi ata ; bhago " ("A storm is coming; fly").
