112 JUNE - JULY 2019Master auteur Satyajit Ray is remembered as a
director, music composer, translator and writer.

known outside of Bengal, where his illustrations

that continues to remain relevant across age
groups and cultures even more than half a century
later, notes Ranjabati DasFEATURES | SALUTEREVISITING RAY
