What reading level is The Little World of An Indian District Officer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Sonthals had no ancient rights in the land. They had come in on sufferance. They were already law-abiding and industrious (if we except the rebellion). They supported themselves, and needed no help. The Highlanders were the only inhabitants of the Hill tracts when they got their constitution. It affected nobody but themselves. People of other races who entered the Hill tracts — the Sonthals included — were not put under it. The Sonthals were a minority of the people. They owned none of the ...land ; they did not trade ; they were looked down upon by the other inhabitants as little better than beasts. They had not even a reputation as fighting men ; and, if they had had any, they lost it in the rebellion. They had been living for fifty years under the ordinary law of the land. Yet for their sakes a new constitution was devised, to which not only they but all the other inhabitants were made subject. I call this a wonderful turn of events. There is nothing like it in all history. II A NEW SYSTEM The new constitution was initiated by a short measure describing and naming the Sonthal Per- gunnahs ; withdrawing from it all ordinary laws except those specially extended to it, and appoint- ing a Commissioner to administer it.
