Keymer, he umanga whakatairanga a Ingarangi, hei "kaitohutohu rangatahi", e whiwhi ana i te waru tekau rupees i te marama. Ahakoa he pai ki a ia te hoahoa whakairoiro (hoahoa whakairoiro) a he pai te mahi ki a ia, he raru i waenga i nga kaimahi o Ingarangi me Inia o te umanga. He pai ake te utu o nga Pakeha, a i whakaaro a Ray "he kuware te nuinga o nga kiritaki". I muri mai, i mahi hoki a Ray mo Signet Press, he whare whakaputa hou na D. K. Gupta i tiimata. I tono a Gupta ki a Ray ki te hanga hoahoa uhi mo nga pukapuka ka whakaputaina e Signet Press ka hoatu ki a ia te herekore toi katoa. I hangaia e Ray nga uhi mo nga pukapuka maha, tae atu ki a Jibanananda Das's Banalata Sen, me Rupasi Bangla, Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay's Chander Pahar, Jim Corbett's Maneaters of Kumaon, me Jawaharlal Nehru's Discovery of India. I mahi ia i runga i te putanga a nga tamariki o Pather Panchali, he pukapuka Bengali tawhito na Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay, i whakaingoatia hei Aam Antir Bhepu (Ko te whiu-mango-mango). I te waihanga i te uhi me te whakaahua i te pukapuka, i tino awe a Ray i te mahi. I whakamahia e ia hei kaupapa mo tana kiriata tuatahi, ana i whakaatuhia ana whakaahua hei pupuhi i roto i tana kiriata whakahirahira. I te taha o Chidananda Dasgupta me etahi atu, i whakatuhia e Ray te Calcutta Film Society i te 1947. He maha nga kiriata ke i whakaaturia, he maha o aua kiriata i mātakitaki a Ray, i tino ako hoki. I whakahoahoa ia ki nga GIs Amerika i whakanohoia ki Calcutta i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao, nana i korero ki a ia mo nga kiriata Amerika hou e whakaatu ana i te taone nui. I mohio ia ki tetahi kaimahi RAF, a Norman Clare, i tohatoha i te hiahia o Ray mo nga kiriata, te chess me te puoro tawhito o te hauauru. I te 1949, i marena a Ray ki a Bijoya Das, tana whanaunga tuatahi me tana hoa aroha mo te wa roa. He tama ta raua tokorua, ko Sandip, he kaiwhakahaere kiriata ia inaianei. I taua tau ano, i tae mai te kaiwhakahaere French a Jean Renoir ki Calcutta ki te kopere i tana kiriata The River. I āwhina a Ray i a ia ki te kimi wāhi i te tuawhenua. I korero a Ray ki a Renoir mo tana whakaaro ki te kiriata i a Pather Panchali, kua roa e whakaaro ana ia, ana ka akiaki a Renoir i a ia ki te kaupapa. I te tau 1950, ka tukuna mai e D.J. Keymer...  Pātai: Ko wai te tama a Bijoya Das?
