Satyajit Ray is usually credited with ushering modernity into the tradition-bound Indian Cinema. Suranjan Gangulys book examines six of Rays major films focusing on issues such as human subjectivity, the importance of education, the emancipation of women, the rise of the new middle class, and the crisis of identity in post-Independence India. He provides close readings of the following films: Pather Panchali (1955), Aparajito (1956), Apur Sansar (1959), Charulata (1964), Aranyer Din Ratri (1970), and Pratidwandi (1970). All six films relate to Rays interest in how a culture acquires a composite, hybrid shape through the fusion of history and modernity. By placing Rays films within the socio-historical and cultural contexts of Indian modernity, Ganguly offers a radically different approach, which will enable Western readers to engage more fully with the filmmakers work.
