The Hungry Generation (Bengali: হাংরি জেনারেশান) was a literary movement in the Bengali language launched by what is known today as the Hungryalist quartet, i.e. Shakti Chattopadhyay, Malay Roy Choudhury, Samir Roychoudhury and Debi Roy (alias Haradhon Dhara), during the 1960s in Kolkata, India. Due to their involvement in this avant garde
cultural movement, the leaders lost their jobs and were jailed by the
incumbent government, they challenged contemporary ideas about
literature and contributed significantly to the evolution of the
language and idiom used by contemporaneous artists to express their
feelings in literature and painting.[1]
This movement is characterized by expression of closeness to nature and sometimes by tenets of Gandhianism and Proudhonianism, although it originated at Patna, Bihar and was initially based in Kolkata, it had participants spread over North Bengal, Tripura and Benares. According to Dr. Shankar Bhattacharya, Dean at Assam University, as well as Aryanil Mukherjee, editor of Kaurab Literary Periodical, the movement influenced Allen Ginsberg as much as it influenced American poetry through the Beat poets who visited Calcutta, Patna and Benares during the 1960-1970s.
