The 'RITWIKTANTRA' coterie in which Nabarun Bhattacharya was entrenched has always been singing about his views against the State of West Bengal as well as the Central Government. None of the coterie members ever explained as to why Nabarun Bhattacharya accepted the Sahitya Academy award from the same power structure against which he has been writing. The main reason why he accepted the prize is because of publicity of the book Herbert and subsequent rising sale thereof.
The Hungry Generation anti-establishment writer Malay Roychoudhury was also awarded a Sahitya Academy award but he refused to accept it and wrote a strong letter to the Secretary of the Sahitya Academy.
