Savita Bhabhi

Savita bhabhi's character shown in first episode

Savita Bhabhi is an Indian pornographic cartoon character and has earned a recognition[1] as India's first porn star. The character named Savita is depicted as an attractive, promiscuous housewife who is ignored by her husband (Ashok) and engages in sexual adventures. The suffix bhabhi ([[]]: sister-in-law) is commonly attached to first names of Indian housewives. The character initially appeared in a freely available comic strip at savitabhabhi.com. It has since been converted into a subscription-based strip owned by kirtu.com.

History

The cartoon character was first[2] introduced by Deshmukh in March 2008.[1] It proved controversial in the conservative Indian setting as soon as it was introduced. Some critics felt it represented the face of new India's ultra-liberal section.[3][4]

The Savita Bhabhi Movie was released on May 2013; it deals with the subject of internet censorship in a humorous way with Savita Bhabhi as the heroine who saves the day.[5]

Controversies

"Wow, India has now joined the elite club of China, Iran, North Korea and suchlike in the area of Internet censorship."

Graphic novelist Sarnath Banerjee on the ban of Savita Bhabhi.[6]

Pornography is broadly illegal in India.[7] As a result, the original website was censored by the Indian government under its anti-pornography laws. This was met with criticism from the likes of prominent Indian libertarian bloggers and journalist Amit Varma.[8] Eventually the mainstream media columnists joined in criticizing the ban as reflecting a "meddlesome, patriarchal mindset" of a "Net Nanny" government. This resulted in an online movement to save the character from being destroyed.[9]

Initially the creators of the site chose to remain anonymous, going under the assumed collective name Indian Porn Empire.[10] However in 2009, the creator of the site Puneet Agarwal, a second generation Indian living in the UK revealed his identity in an attempt to fight against the ban. However a month later, due to family pressure he announced his decision to take down the comic strip.[2]

The presence of a character bearing a resemblance to Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan also met with criticism on Indian television channels.[11]
