What reading level is Lord Clive. the Foundation of British Rule in India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
While the Calcutta Council and their subordinates were en- riching themselves at the expense of the so-called rulers of Bengal and of their native subjects, the in- terests of the Company were being grossly neglected.
Every ship which arrived from Calcutta brought in- telligence of the abuses which were being perpetrated, while the Company's investments were steadily falling off. Macaulay describes the misgovernment of the English during the five years which followed the departure of Clive from... Bengal as having been carried to a point ' such as seems hardly compatible with the very existence of society.' Revolution succeeded revolution, and 'at every one of these revolutions the new prince divided among his foreign masters whatever could be scraped together from the treasury of his fallen predecessors. The immense population of his dominions was given up as a prey to those who had made him a sovereign, and who could unmake him. The servants of the Company obtained, not for their employers, but for themselves, a monopoly of ' The Decisive Battles of India, from 1 746 fii 1 849 inclusive.
