What reading level is Indian Life in Town And Country book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The experienced dhoolie-ddk traveller never allows his dhoolie to be set on the ground, whereby he avoids exasperating detentions at the stages where the bearers are changed. In these methods of travelling you put up at ddk- bungalows, or Government hostelries, which are erected all along the main Indian roads. They are comfort- less places as a rule, in charge of a cook who gen- erally catches and kills a fowl for you when you arrive, and serves it up within twenty minutes.
The ddk-bungalow is... one of the trials of Anglo- Indian life, and has probably had more jokes fathered upon it than English seaside lodging The Land of Exile 189 houses; but when you are in one, the joke is not appreciable.
Such are the means by which the Moffussil, "up-country," or provincial Anglo-Indian will reach his station or district, and unless he is going to Bombay or Calcutta, which are practically the two entrance doors of the Empire, with Madras for a back door, his first experience of Anglo- In- dian life will be of travel; and the land journey will often prove much more trying than the sea- voyage.
