Conversation with Satyajit Ray | Gideon Bachmann | 1958 New York 

Too bad he received Bharat Ratna after he already went into coma. India doesn't recognize its sons on time.

It is absolutely surprising that Satyajit Ray made his films in then Tollygaunje studio with out the sophisticated requirements. But by his sheer genius, he made his films world classic films

absolutely n not only film making its casting, dialogues, music , costumes, calligraphy a master of all..

Not really ,as it was granted to him to balance the incompetency of the India Government as the Oscar Award was already declared to Mr. Ray and it (the Bharat Ratna) was most shrudefully timed as Mr. Ray was in a coma and most likely he would have refused it if he was in his senses . This was also stated by Mr. Utpal Dutt in one of his famous speeches at the mourning ceremony of Mr . Ray .

No award is worthy of this genious.....anyone who tried to bestow their award on him, knew that.

True

বাঙালি তো সবার ওপর বাংলা মা কেই ভালবাসবে, তাই নয় কি?

not exactly British accent.. its Trans-Atlantic accent

British era elite class english educated , or who studied abroad yhen have this magnificient authentic english accent, not nowadays were from 90s onwards this increasingly middle class cheap american slang from american series on star tv, Channel V and MTV .offcourse the present generation has the whole gamut of social media to choose from

Satyajit Ray of Indian cinema.

What does the Year have to do with speaking good English?!

@@samarjitmechie because majority of population didn't even know alphabets of English at that time and here he is, speaking like a native.

@@Sachin.095 You seem to be highly uninformed of how people were back then. People of that time were more inclined towards 'English' than today's generation.

​@@samarjitmechie😂

I'm not sure but I think he's not been to America before this though Panther Panchali has gone to Vancouver and his flim also went to the San Francisco film festival but I am not very sure that whether he had attended those festivals himself or not but none the less the diction in English of his so clear and of strong bristish accent because it was ingrained in his family from very first , his paternal side were highly polished in English and maternal side too was very much influenced by english and he's worked in a British agency for quite a long time along with british employees so it's very much that his articulation would be quite influenced by British english

@@sg04f looks like a metronome.

Would have been beautiful if it was a Perigal Repeater (Gorosthaane Shabdhan). :D

Good job Sherlock.....oh wait wait I meant Topse.

it's British Accent actually.

@@utsavdhyani8839 this is clean English, you can understand each word.

We slowly transitioned from the british curriculum, british english native speaking 'teachers'................to locally bred (teachers with no experience in britain or speaking british english). Once that transition was made, our british accent faded away. Leading to...what it is now. I wouldnt say to what it is 'now'. I would say to what it became up until the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. Why? Cos since then, its again changed to a slightly better accent since then and the accent is improving every day as we speak. Today children speak much better (accent i mean) than in the 80s, 90s. I'm sure it will improve more n more from now. But the classical usage of delightful words and classical english usage...well thats gone (thats gone not just in india...but all across the world). Sadly.

@@utsavdhyani8839 its not,british accent is very different. This is neutral english.No accent,crystal clear,sophisticated,elegant english.

​@@utsavdhyani8839 it is not. This is the indian accent of a man well versed in English. There is no "particular" accent. Everyone well versed has their unique way of speaking. Indian accent is not necessarily the stereotypical Indian accent that the west wants you to think it is.

Yeah....

Ray was intimately associated with All India Radio and his voice was utilized for background narration by the Government of India and other state governments in several documentaries

Absolutely

That's a 1944 priceless picture of Ray.. On his 9 to 5 job 😁.... Then he pursued his dreams

Why it's can't be true?? look around and observe closely who Indian audience are licking Khan, Karan, Kapoor ass.
