    His films portray and also find the psychology of women. He was one of the first one to do this. Even Guru Rabindra Nath Ji has also portrayed women beautifully in his novels. Without the fake essence of Heroism. The Indian literature is so beautiful and fruitful to the one, whom it interests. Loved this analysis ♡

      Adding to that , women in Sharat Chandra Chattopadhay 's novels are incredible too . He understood and wrote the characters of women , their desires , emotions , complexities so beautifully.

    For many of the Viewers it may be 'Charulata' to be their favourite character. But mine was Bhupati, not only he was highly literate but also socially open to the perception and psychology of his wife(WOMAN), during that time period it was not only rare for a man to stand for women causes but also considered to be 'na-mard' if one's wife has any small hint of adultery but he rather understood the cause and the rationale behind it and took a step to bring themselves closer to each other (but by this I don't mean that one should be a simp or just neglect any wrong) but here he wasn't a simp he knew the exact case.. why and how.
    This really hit me hard He indeed is truly a intellectual MAN portrayed by the Legend Satyajit Ray. Salute to his work. We Bengalis will always be indebted to him for his contribution.

    Satyajit Ray's movies was ahead of time. The movies he made could not be understood by us, because of our backward thoughts. He mastered the art of movie making. We need to understand the importance of good story and directing rather than being trapped in commercial movies which mostly has absurd plot.

      He was understood in Bengal, because he made films in Bengali language, and abroad, where a niche audience watching global films was already present which only now is growing in India. He is considered as among the top 10 directors of all time because he was appreciated abroad.

    The tragedy is that Indian flims no more got another Satyajit Ray to glorify and continue the quality and level he showed unlike Hollywood. We are proud and contented that he atleast got his due respect before his death though delayed.

    What Ray was not willing to portray is the exploitation of labour of marginalized which gave ample leisurely time for upper caste women to stroll around house, look outside the window, keeping uppercaste men free from any labour outside and inside the house, this is exactly the freedom and time Ray got due to uppercaste privileged background to invest in making films.

      You did not mention the loss of his father sukumar Roy when he was only two year old and the collapse of their publishing house His growing up in middle class kolkata getting in advertising etc.His upbringing was middleclass,his family was exceptional.Nobody has shown poverty of rural priest like Ray did.
