What reading level is The Orient And Its People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
However low a Hindu may be in the social scale, he always finds some one to look down upon.
These distinctions are much more rigidly observed in Southern India, and among the Himalaya Mountains, than they are on the intervening plains. Still it is quite impossible anywhere to persuade, or hire for any sum of money, under any stress of circumstances, members of one caste to perform the simplest work belonging to another.
In Southern India nearly all the servants of Europeans are of the Pariah or... other lower castes, while in North- ern India Muhammedans are usually employed. The Miihammedans are somewhat governed by caste feeling.
A Miihammedan servant who blacks his master's boots, takes care of his clothes, library, and dusts the house daily, would not for any consideration of money, sweep a floor or draw water. The man who draws water would not tend ahorse or bullocks. Many cooks will not wash dishes, but must have a boy to do it for them. Ava- ricious and close-fisted as the Brahmin is, he would never engage in any occupation, however lucrative, that would affect his caste.
