Hungryalist Movement; A battle for the Freedom of Writing.

Writers of Hungry generation: Saileswar Ghose, Malay Roy Choudhury and Subhas Ghose, Basudeb Dasgupta, David Garcia and Subimal Basak. (from the top left moving clockwise)

The first basic need of a human being is food. Then clothing, habitation, education and treatment. Since the beginning of creation, people around the different parts of the world are fighting for different basic needs. But the most interesting thing is that we Bengalis have a great history of fighting for the freedom of writing in a new different way to express inner thoughts. Doesn’t it sound interesting? It was early sixties. The story is about a group of young Bengali poets who started thinking that Bengali literature was just living on the influence of foreign culture. So they started writing in different Bengali metaphoric words. But the government took stand against them and their writings. That was the beginning of a new movement.

Yes, I’m talking about the Hungryalist movement which is better known as the Hungry Generation. It was a literary movement in Bengal. This movement was started in 1961 by the famous Hungryalist quartet- Malay Roy Choudhury, Samir Roy Choudhury, Shakti Chattopadhyay and Debi Roy (alias Haradhon Dhara). The movement was officially launched in November 1961 from the residence of Malay Roy Choudhury and his brother Samir Roy Choudhury in Patna. For this reason, Malay Roy Choudhury is considered as the creator of Hungryalist movement. Malay Roy Choudhury took the word ‘Hungry’ from Geoffrey Chaucer's poetic line "In Sowre Hungry Tyme". The main theme of the movement was Oswald Spengler’s idea of History. Besides the mentioned four poets, Utpal Kumar Basu, Binoy Majumdar, Sandipan Chattopadhyay, Basudeb Dasgupta, Falguni Roy, Subhash Ghosh, Tridib Mitra, Alo Mitra, Ramananda Chattopadhyay, Anil Karanjai, Saileswar Ghosh, Karunanidhan Mukhopadhyay, and Subho Acharya were among the other leading writers and artists of the movement. The movement lasted from 1961 to 1965. On September 2, 1964, government issued arrest warrants against 11 of the Hungry poets. The charges included anti-establishment view of writing, obscenity in literature and subversive conspiracy against the state. At last, all the charges were framed against Malay Roy Choudhury for his poem ‘Stark Electric Jesus’. He was jailed by the lower court but after that High Court released him.

Actually, post-independence Bengal was facing a terrible time after the unpleasant era of the partition. A certain group of people was taking most of the social facilities. And the result of that is rising poverty, hunger and death. These mismanagements gave birth of a young brigade among the middle-class Bengalis who went against the government not with any weapons, but with their blunt blow of pen and paper mingling into poetry. That gave rise to avant-garde Hungryalist movement in Bengal. The movement gave a shake to the roots of the Bengali literary and cultural establishment in India as well. It changed the total literary atmosphere of Bengal. It influenced Hindi, Marathi, Assamese and Urdu literatures too. The Hungry poets significantly brought a change in the language and vocabulary used in the literature of Indian sub-continent. The Hungryalists wanted to give a knock to the reader’s mind that was filled with dark colonial ideas. And they could do that very successfully. That’s why it became the most controversial topic of that time. Later the ultra-leftist student movement by the Naxalists was also influenced by the Hungry generation. It is still remembered as one of the greatest literary movements in the world.
