ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Hungry Generation

Okay, so imagine you're really hungry and you want to eat. But sometimes, when people are hungry for things like food, they're also hungry for other things, like new ideas or new ways of doing things. This is where the Hungry Generation comes in.

The Hungry Generation was a group of writers and artists in India who were very hungry for new ideas and wanted to do things differently than their parents' generation. They wanted to break the rules and make art that was raw and real, not just something that looked pretty.

So just like how you might be hungry for your favorite food, these writers and artists were hungry for new ways of expressing themselves through their art. And by doing this, they helped to create a new era of Indian literature and art that was unlike anything that had come before it.
