Ritwik Ghatak
I STRODE MY ROAD : Montage of a Mind

This montage of a mind has been compiled and com-posed as a collage of words collected from as many as fifteen interviews of Ritwik Ghatak, the maestro. Arranged under topics, correlated with phases of his life and career, here are exclusively his words, the essential nectar of his talks.

Through the brilliance of his reckless dialogue, the core message of the maestro shines forth as an unwavering love for mankind and a determined diligence to urge the society for a change to the better. We are enthralled by the exposure and experience of the man, by his unflickering attachment to classic goodness amid passing decadence, by his brazen preference for his own truth, by the width of his scholarship and depth of his wisdom, and by the softness of his feelings and the firmness of his commitment.
