'''Debi Roy''' (born 4 August 1940) is one of the founding fathers of the [[Hungry generation]] movement in [[Bengali literature]]. He is also the first modern [[Dalit]] poet in Bengali. He was born in a very poor family and worked as an errand boy in tea stalls of [[Calcutta]] when his parents lived in a slum in [[Howrah]]. He funded his own education and became a graduate of [[Calcutta University]]. He started writing in his childhood. Debi Roy met [[Malay Roy Choudhury]] in an office of a literary periodical in 1960 and the two of them, after discussions with [[Shakti Chattopadhyay]] and [[Samir Roychoudhury]] launched the now famous [[Hungryalist]] movement in November 1961. His Howrah slum-room was the editorial office from where the '''Hungryalist Bulletins''' and '''Hungryalist Manifestoes''' were published. Along with ten other Hungryalists, Debi Roy was arrested in 1964 on charges of [[obscenity]] in poetry, though the trial court exonerated him.<br />
<br />
He developed new kinds of sentences in his poems which have come to be known as ''logical breaks'' as well as ''image jumping''. Subsequent [[Bengali people|Bengali]] poets have followed the method into the next century. As a result, he is considered one of the first ''[[postmodern]]'' Bengali poets.<br />
