What reading level is The Stolen God And Other Experiences of Indian Palace Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was much affected by my calling him " brother " every time 33 THE STOLEN GOD.
I addressed him on the subject of Christianity. In the middle of this puja we digressed into a discussion of the futility of all this worship and the necessity for a Saviour ; and he finally ad- mitted that he was doing the work for the money he got, and " a Brahmin had to live " ! Then, turning from us, he went on ringing the bell at various intervals, sprinkling water, burning in- cense, reciting liturgies, and s...o droning out a worship to a lifeless god smaller than his hand ! The fruit, flowers, cloth are the priest's portion when the worship is finished.
The priest will figure much in this record. He had promised from the time of the operation to cany out all the Rani's vows of fasting, which were many, and also to perform certain others on behalf of her welfare, so that altogether, with his many days of fasting, he looked fairly attenuated when his task was over. Twice a day he went through the daily ceremonies for the Rajah as well.
