What reading level is Actual India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Under the former the Government collects its revenues from large landowners who rent their estates out to tenants or from brotherhoods whose members hold the land in common ; under the latter there are no landlords, but the revenue is levied directly from the cultivators. The Zemin- dart system prevails principally in the United Provinces, the Punjab, Bengal, the Central Provinces, and large parts of Madras, the Ryotwari system in other parts of British India ; but both systems may be found in ...the same province. Except where (as in Bengal, parts of the United Provinces, and Madras) the revenue was fixed in perpetuity by Lord Cornwallis in 1793, the land revenue is assessed by periodical "settlements, " which occur in each district at intervals of twenty or thirty years. Settlement work is obviously of the greatest importance, and every officer of the Civil Service has to go through a period of "settlement training. " When a district is under settlement a staff of officials, superior and subordinate, is exclusively engaged upon the work j and it depends upon their assessment of yo ACTUAL INDIA the various holdings whether the revenue to be levied from that district for the following twenty or thirty years will be just or unjust either to the Government or to the cultiva- tors.
