What reading level is The Sema Nagas book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I found out eventually that these thefts were due to the thieves having been unable to get any loans, as there was no prospect whatever of their repaying in three years, and so no one would give them paddy and they were forced to steal. When the Order was cancelled as regards loans in kind, this epidemic of thefts stopped at once.
It may perhaps be worth while indicating one or two points in which the Sema " orphan " system seems to differ from the *' 6o* " system. In the first place it is a sy...stem of land tenure, almost a manorial system, and not one of domestic service, for the " orphan " does not necessarily or ordinarily become an inmate of the chief's house or owe him any labour except a very small and fixed amount in the fields. In the second place, he does not lose or acquire any particular social status ; he cannot become chief, because the office is hereditary, but he becomes a village elder {Clmchomi) in his turn, and may have " orphans " of his own. Thirdly, the marriage price ^ of an "orphan's" daughter is only paid to his " father " in case the real father of the girl dies before her marriage and without male rela- tions who are " orphans " of the same " father, " the adopted " father " being then the nearest heir.
