I thank rediff for including Ray. His work (including his detective stories for the Bengali youth) is deeply entrenched in the generation y and the baby boomer generation of west bengal. he is the epitome of the bengali bhadrolok lifestyle and views that drives a large middle-class section of pre-1970 born west bengalee. however gen x and 920 million indians havent seen or cannot understand his work. its a curious choice in that respect. infact its more curious if you see the movie industry today - regional or hindi we havent seen anything original since ardh satya.
