What reading level is The Story of India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But a still greater blow followed. In 1622 the island of Ormus, the seat of Portuguese power in the Persian Gulf since the time of Albuquerque, was captured by the English for the Persians ; and although fighting continued for some years — in 1 63 1 Swalley witnessed another serious en- counter between English ships and the Viceroy of Goa's fleet — the Portuguese had ceased to be formidable before they signed a permanent treaty of peace with us in 1635.
These military successes had considerably... increased the reputation of Englishmen along the coast of India, and had resulted in their obtaining many extra privileges from the Mogul's lieutenants. They were given authority by them, or by some of the still unsubdued kings of the Carnatic, to found factories at Agra and Patna in the north, and at Masulipatam and Armagon in the south. For a time Armagon, which is on the Coromandel coast, north of Madras, was the chief factory in India, its fort being defended by 12 guns, and the establish- ment consisting of 23 factors and soldiers.
