When did your first encounter with Shakespeare take place (at school or college)?
In class obviously, in my B.A./undergraduate classes.
Not in school! But there’s another thing! My father taught English Literature in City College and Calcutta University. And he had done his Ph.D in 1930 at Edinburgh Institute under Prof. Herbert Grierson and his subject was the growth and evolution of the Elizabethan lyric. So there was an atmosphere of Shakespeare reading. The books were there! In fact I started buying books independently for the first time in 1959 because I got some sort of, I don’t remember what it was, scholarship on my B.A. results in English and this money came quarterly and it was a large amount of money – Rs.300 in those days, when the P

This article is about the film. For the novel on which it is based, see Pather Panchali (novel).
Pather Panchali (Bengali pronunciation:[pɔtʰerpãtʃali]ⓘ, transl.
