What reading level is The Empire of India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His power was annihilated by CHve on the field of Plassy (1757), and seven years later the victory of Buxar subjected to British influ- ence the Moghal empire and the viceroyalty of Oudh. But for nearly a generation these successes were used to obtain, not territory, but money ; and it was not until the end of the eighteenth century approached, that Bengal was effec- tively taken under British rule. The sovereignty of the eastern portion of the United Provinces was ceded by the viceroy of Oudh ...in 1801. Two years later the British and the Mahrattas, after some years of alternating wars and alliances, put their rivalry to a final arbitrament. At Laswari Lord Lake defeated the army of Sindhia, stif- fened though it was by French mercenaries ; and at Argaum and Assaye Colonel Wellesley (later the Duke of 230 CONSOLIDATION OF BRITISH INDIA Wellington) broke up a confederacy of the other Mahratta powers. From Sindhia's principaUty the western portion of the United Provinces was then annexed, and the province of Orissa from the territories of the confederacy : moreover, no longer fearing the Mahrattas, the princes of Rajputana accepted the protection of British authority.
