What reading level is The Web of Indian Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It would still be accounttd an act of vulgarity if a man of means gave a piece cf English cotton as wearing apparel to a friend. Soap, kerosene oil, and the substitution of chairs for mats, are still regarded askance by the leaders of pious opinion. But this opposition savours too much of mere prejudice. Therefore it can only retard, it cannot overcome, the evil. What is wanted in this regard is a dynamic orthodoxy, capable of enforcing a decision that only what Indian people can make ought Ind...ian persons to use. And such a canon, it is needless to point out, would have to find its root and strength in the women, who are buyers and consumers, reaching the craftsmen through con- stituted social and religious channels. Once having obtained a grip of the national conscience, no political or commercial cajolery would be of the slightest avail against this principle ; but then, if the people were capable of understanding and carrying out such an idea — women, priests, pundits, heads of castes, and labourers — the whole problem would already have been solved, and there would be no disaster from which India must be saved.
