What reading level is A Vision of India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The great firm, which manages nearly all the mines, and is the virtual employer of almost the entire population, encourages neither booms nor rushes ; the outside pro- moter and prospector receive so scanty a welcome that in the whole colony there is not a single hotel where they can stay, and, unless they come properly introduced, they will be hard put to it to find a night's lodging. On the other hand, any person who brings suitable credentials may be sure of hearty and hospitable entertainme...nt in GOLD AND WATER-POWER 249 one or other of the commodious bungalows of the chief officials.
The climate of Kolar is almost the best in India, outside the hill-stations — bright, airy, and equable, and seldom hot enough to make the punkah necessary. These conditions, and perhaps most of all the absence of any floating population, since almost everybody on the fields is engaged under contract and has some definite status, render the level of health high and that of crime low. I noticed no saloons, or bars, or gambling- rooms, or drinking-shops ; but there is a first-rate hos- pital, there are good schools for the Eurasian children, there are churches and chapels, social institutes, cricket and tennis grounds, racquet-courts, and an excellent club.
