Tridib Mitra

Tridib Mitra (born 31 December 1940) was one of the pioneers of the Hungry generation movement in Bengali literature which changed the literary landscape of West Bengal once and for all. With his wife Alo Mitra he edited Hungry generation magazines The Waste Paper in English and Unmarga in Bengali. He and his wife were the ones who started Poetry Readings in Burning Ghats, Graveyards, Ganges river banks as well as in Country liquor joints of Kolkata. He was, in fact, one of the cultural game changers during the sixties when Hungry generation literary movement arrived with full force in the Bengali cultural arena. He and his wife were the ones who delivered Hungry generation masks of demons, jokers, gods etc. at the offices and houses of Ministers, Administrators, Newspaper Editors and other power holders of the West Bengali Establishment. He was an Anti-Establishment writer.
