Jeleaous critics do not take into account these points while the attack Hungry Generation Movement

These are the aspects which critics do not take into account :-

 (1) Mind-game  Writing by Hungryalists

Mind-game writing basically means that you are high on marihuana or hashish which makes you unable to surrender to thought of others and you start interrupting the thoughts, images, and sentences that come into your head. It's a kind of "inborn-writing" that allows all kinds of interesting juxtapositions and associations to develop.One famous example is Malay Roychoudhury's poem "Stark Electric Jesus" as well as "Randhanshala" story by Basudeb Dasgupta.

(2) Oxymoron and Juxtaposition

The Hungryalists loved oxymoron juxtaposing extremely different images. For example, a chair might be described in terms of a salad, or hair could be associated with sentences in a book. This juxtaposition of contrasting imagery is one of the defining characteristics of Hungryalism.

(3) Association

Association is another literary technique the Hungryalists were nuts about. It's closely linked to marihuana inspired writing and juxtaposition, and it involves linking together thoughts and images in a flow—even when these thoughts and images may not seem to have much to do with one another.For example the poems of Debi Roy or Malay Roychoudhury's postmodern poem "Jakham".

(4) The Irrational

We've all got that crazy, irrational part of ourselves that makes us do things that are totally not in our self-interest—like eating a boiled rice with a bottle of rum and tangra fish. The Hungryalists were very interested in the irrational and the way that the irrational shapes our identity and our perception. Stories such as "Jinnatulbilader Rupkatha" by Malay Roychoudhury or "Hanseder Proti" bu Subhas Ghose are examples.

(5) The Unconscious

According to the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, beneath the tip of our conscious mind lays the iceberg of the unconscious. It's that part of ourselves that's hidden and elusive. The Hungryalists viewed the unconscious as the source of inspiration for their writing, and they tapped into it through techniques like drug induced writing.For example Saileswar Ghosh's "Janmoniyantran" or the reverse narrative of Subimal Basak used in "Chhatamatha" novel.

(6) Dream and Fantasy

Hungryalist literature often evokes dream and fantasy worlds. The Hungryalists were interested in moulding and reinterpreting as well as redifining conventional reality as we know it, and imageries and fantasies provided them with a way into the dirty and violent "real".

(7)Post-partition nightmares

It's the understatement of the century to say that the Hungryalists were nonconformists. They not only wanted to transform literary conventions, they wanted to transform social and political conventions. It's no surprise, then, that  their work is loaded with politics.They had published a political manifesto which was the subject matter of two main editorials in the Daily Jugantar on two days. Subhas Ghosh and Bsudeb Dasgupta joined the Communist Party. Arun Banik was murdered for his political views in Agartala, Tripura.

(8) The  Manifesto of Hungryalism

This manifesto, written and published first in 1961 by Malay Roychoudhury and subsequent manifesto on various aspects of society including religion and politics, is your guide to all things artist Anil Karanjai talked of.. It defined many of the principles of the movement, including concepts like induced writing, and the emphasis on creating new forms of perception.

(9 )Partition of Bengal

Hungryalism developed shortly after partition of Bengal. The nightmare of displaced millions , of course, caused massive destruction and death in both parts of Bengal—millions of people were uprooted, forced to change religion or died. Hungryalism developed partly as a response to the nightmare of the partition  itself. What could be more insane than being displaced from your home where your ancestors lived for centuries.?
