What reading level is The Silent India : Being Tales And Sketches of the Masses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then a small army of beaters has to be paid ; " mahouts," who guide the elephants, to be tipped ; and a reward given for every bagged tiger to the head " shikari " (hunter or sportsman) and "mahout," which will keep them in affluence for several months. The strip of country to be driven is fenced in, as it were, as far as possible, by men in trees, who tap the trunks and boughs gently with sticks to keep the animals from breaking away at the sides ; and at the end of the beat are stationed some... sportsmen on their elephants, to whom the beasts are driven. These men, as a rule, have the best of the fun. The plan frequently adopted to determine as to who are to have these posts, is to draw from a small bundle of straws of different lengths ; the one who draws the longest to have the first choice of place, then the second longest, and so on. The writer well remembers, as a youngster, drawing the longest straw, and promptly electing to be a " stop" to which the game was to be driven. But alas !
