What reading level is The Golden Window of the East Oriental Impressions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The religious element enters most seriously in 158 INDIA 159 Indian life. It is the wedge that separates races : the fulcrum upon which native authority rests: it controls education, aligns castes, determines the status of women, and reduces one-sixth of the population to the degrading condition of pariahs, or outcasts. It has been the source of mon- strous fanaticism: such as thuggery, sutteeism, or the burning of widows on their husbands' fu- neral pyres ; child-widowhood ; infanticide ; the ...perversions of fakirs ; the juggernaut ; and self- mutilation. Some of these monstrosities in a milder form were known to early and medieval Christianity. They spring from an excessive asceticism, or principle of renunciation. English law has suppressed dangerous forms of fanaticism in India: education, a common industrial purpose, and a growth of the social conscience, will tone down these extravagancies which are the spawn of intellectual degradation.
Let us imagine ourselves in a river-boat on the Ganges, following the shore line of Benares, at an early hour in the morning.
