What reading level is A Little Tour in India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He found that if he took a day off from going round the camps, the deaths on that day would rise by between two hundred and three hundred, and if he left out one camp, the deaths there would rise by twenty or thirty. The reason was that the Babu camp officers always withheld the corn until he was sighted, and if he didn't come they doled out no corn till evening, so that twenty or thirty men might die ; whereupon they entered those twenty or thirty as having received corn, and pocketed the pric...e of it, about 3d. Per death. This they did without winking, and when he discovered it he had to ride thirty miles every day round ten camps to make sure the men were fed. He took a horse- whip, and if he found the men hadn't been fed at the proper time, he used it : in famine time the Government let the collectors be drastic. If these 1 70 A LITTLE TOUR IN INDIA Babus are the men who would get control of our administration, of course they would soon drive every Englishman out of it.
I left Darjeeling yesterday afternoon.
