What reading level is A Handbook to Agra And the Taj, Sikandra, Fatehpur-Sikri And the Neighbourhood book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Agra is only concerned with the first seven years of Aurangzib's reign, for, after the death of Shah Jahan, the court was removed to Delhi, and Agra was left with only a provincial governor to maintain its former magnificence. The unhappy Dara, after his defeat by Aurangzib, made fruit- less attempts to retrieve his fortunes, but was at last betrayed into the hands of his brother, who immediately put him to death. Aurangzib lost no time in disposing of his other two brothers, and thus placed hi...s succession to the throne beyond dispute.
The Princess Rushanara, as a reward for her treachery, was raised to the position formerly enjoyed by her sister Jahanara. The French physician Bernier, who resided twelve years at the Mogul court in the time of Aurangzib, has left many minute and graphic records of the times. Here is a picture of Rushanara when she D 34 Agra accompanied Aurangzib on the march from Delhi to Kashmir : — "Stretch imagination to its utmost limits, and you can conceive no exhibition more grand and imposing than when Rauchenara-Begum, mounted on a stupendous Pegu elephant and seated in a mikdember, blazing with gold and azure, is followed by five or six other elephants with mikdembers nearly as resplendent as her own, and filled with ladies attached to her house- hold.
