What reading level is A Voice From the East to the Young book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then, after shedding tears of sorrow and what not, he makes the shaasahanghum before the assembly. This being done, he is declared fit to be restored to his tribe. When a man has been expelled from his caste for some great offense, those who restore him slightly burn his tongue with a piece of gold made hot.
They likcAvise apply to the different parts of the body red-hot iron stamps, which leave marks which remain for ever. Sometimes they compel the offender to walk on burn- ing embers, and, to... complete the purification, he must drink the nauseous punchakaryam, of which I have before told you. After this, he must give a grand feast.
114 LETTERS TO CHILDREN.
ISTo person who lias eaten the flesL. of the cow can ever be restored to his caste. Even the punchakaryam is of no avail in snch cases.
I will make a remark here which I might have made before. It is, that in Christian countries there is a spirit of pride which much resembles the spirit of caste. Many are to be found who are very proud that they have descended from rich and honorable an- cestors, and who look down almost with dis- dain upon those in other situations.
