Tridib Mitra was an anti-establishment writer and part of the Hungry generation movement in Bengali literature of the 1960s. He emerges as one of the crucial figures of the Hungryalist constellation—those who extended and embodied the movement beyond its founding quartet. His work, including Ghulghuli (1965) and Hatyakando (1967), participates in what may be termed a poetics of abrasion: a language that resists lyric containment and instead foregrounds rupture, violence, and existential immediacy. The Hungry Generation itself was a deliberate affront to both colonial literary residues and bourgeois Bengali modernism. It sought to dismantle “preconceived colonial canons” and introduce a visceral, often obscene immediacy into literary language.
