How come this is a pure Bengali dress. He is not wearing a dhoti rather wearing a pajama.

[@indranilchakraborty33]

a real giant who stood head and shoulder above the rest not only with an imposing height but also in the countless gems which Mr.Ray made in the form of movies,story,poems,short stories,documentaries and much more. One of the greatest filmmaker of all time. Bengal is proud of you,India is proud of you. You will be in the hearts of every Bengali forever.

[@MrKcdas]

Tagore, Ray,... Our human God. We are so lucky of having these.

[@ambikabasuroy3763]

I was literally surprised to see that there was someone sooo clever and intelligent enough to hold such precious moments not only for the Bengalis but also for the Indians so that people like us who was not even born then can see it later and thank you soo much dada for sharing this gem with us..need more of this kind of rare clips on youtube so that people of this generation can see them..and a request to you if its possible pls upload rare clips of the Mahanayak Uttam Kumar..

[@mrinmoymaity1760]

This was shooted by Ray's son Sandip ray. And it's next to impossible to get footage of uttam kumar apart from movie because he didn't like to be captured when he is in his own personality. He didn't want to reveal himself publically to hold nayak image.

[@gerardosanchez9205]

Yes, his films are a great treasure and no one can denyit, but shall we say that is impossible not to admire also that graceful elegance, dignity, measured diligence...what a magnetic personality, what a great human!!! ❤ my admiration and deep respect 🙏🏼

[@nomadexplorer6682]

Thank you Shri Soorajit Mukerji for catching this wonderful moment of history and sharing with us. As with Rabindranath, another Satyajit Ray from India will not come in the foreseeable future. Ray is a pure product of that classic Bengal Renaissance. As the great Japanese film director said, "If you have not seen Ray's films, it's like saying you have not seen the sun and the moon". Rabindranath and Ray will be remembered for eternity on this planet. Rabindranath wrote, Ray blossomed art and humaneness on screen.

The high point of the entire ceremony is, a few gentle words in acceptance of the honour from Ray in his deep baritone voice.

[@abhiu2398]

You're doing God's work! Sad to see Ray looking so weak and tired. I'm happy the French honoured him, but the fact that they had the wisdom to so it before our own government did just pisses me off 🙄

[@chandanbanerjee1968]

Exactly! India Govt hurriedly went to give him Bharat Ratna just after he won the oscar...As if He did not deserve it before

[@abhiu2398]

@@chandanbanerjee1968 Our government is always slow on the uptake. They gave Dr Ambedkar the Bharat Ratna 35 years after his death. In his book Last Few Years of Dr Ambedkar, Nanak Chand Rattu said he was certain the doctor would have happily accepted the honour if it had been given to him in his lifetime. And I doubt anyone can argue that he wouldn't have deserved it.

He received the Ramon Magsaysay Award long time back and H.H.The Dalai Lama got the same award today. What a coincidence. One of Asia's highest honors, reversing the spirit demonstrated by people and organizations through altruistic and selfless dedication to the people of Asia. Asians who stand out in their profession and have a reputation for voluntarily serving others without seeking public awareness are eligible for the Ramon Magsaysay Award.
