Although the filmmaker Satyajit Ray is well known across the world, few outside Bengal know much about the diverse contributions of his forebears to printing technology, nationalism, children's literature, feminism, advertising, entreprenurial culture and religious reform. The first comprehensive work in English on the pre-Satyajit generations, The Rays before Satyajit is not only a collective biography of an extraordinary family, but interweaves the Ray saga with the larger history of Indian modernity.
