What reading level is India .. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Formerly the widow always threw herself into the flames and perished with her husband. This prac- tice has been almost entirely stopped by the government — all concerned in such a case being considered as murderers — but it is still occasionally done. No doubt, part of the impulse which prompts a woman thus to sacrifice herself is a religious one, but a great share is doubtless due to the wretched lot to INDIA. 31 which a widow is doomed. " From the day of the death of her husband commence her ...sufferings and privations. She is made to employ herself in devotional austerities which know no end. Her appearance on all joyous occasions is considered a bad omen. Even at the marriage ceremony of her brothers and sisters she cannot take an honorable place or join other females who, because their husbands are living, can enjoy all the reasonable freedom and pleasures of life.
The Hindoos invariably consider it an auspicious omen to come across the wife of a living husband when they leave home for the accomplishment of an intended purpose, but if they happen to come across a widow they despair of success, andT proceed with reluctance, or return to curse the widow.
