Diff Bhabhi's for Diff Folks

The Bhabhi Is Dead! Long Live The Bhabhi!

For more than a year, she had been the defining image of voyeurism in India. But now, after being under fire, and she is finally ‘dead’.

Launched in March 2008, Savita Bhabhi "a regular Indian woman who just can't get enough sex" was an instant hit with Indian netizens, attracting 60 million visitors each month (that should tell you something about the suppressed Indian male and his libido).

Now one of the most visited Indian website has been banned by the Department of Telecommunication, for promoting obscenity.

The developers of the website had launched a "Save Savita" movement on the Internet, asking fans to file RTI pleas, seeking a reply from the government as to why only dear Savita was being "targeted" when hundreds of other such websites go unchecked. Support had already started pouring in. Fans were posting links to alternative sites from where Savita Bhabhi could be accessed.

However now, the Bhabhi is finally being closed down for the most ironical reason.

The developer was identified as a certain Mr. Deshmukh and apparently the public outing has caused ‘grave personal and moral harm’ to both him and his family (who apparently weren’t aware of their son’s very active imagination). So now, on the insistance of his family (which probably included a very horrified bhabhi) the site is being taken down and discontinued.

However what is more interesting is the immense popularity of Savita among the million other porn websites.

It’s not even Real for heaven's sake, its a Cartoon.

But the USP is that the protagonist, Savita is an amalgamation of every K-Serial bhabhi you can imagine.

She wears sarees and salwars not mini’s. She’s usually pottering about the house doing domestic chores and like the dutiful indian bride, she always has 'sindoor' in her head.

What is more is that she does not discriminate in her choice of partners. She’ll seduce anyone, from her hubby’s friends to the milkman to the friendly neighbourhood boys. Lets say she believes in both 'fair' and 'fore' play.

In short she's your quintessential Indian Woman.

So what does it mean? Are Indians turned on by ‘doing it’ to a virtuous epitome of Indian womanhood rather than some slutty American wannabe?

Or is this what they imagine every housewife to be doing while the hubby's go off to work (or to other's wives)?

Something to think about na?

And now on to a totally unconnected topic (seriously).

The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Mayawati or Behenji as she likes to be called has gone on a statue installing spree all over U.P.

Now statues aren’t that uncommon in India but the amazing thing is that Behenji’s statues have a rather unusual accessory.

A Handbag!

I don’t know about you, but this is the first time I’ve seen a statue with a handbag.

I personally cant figure out the reason behind this. Maybe she’s trying to connect with her followers by portraying a more homely image.

You know, like say, a kind Bhabhi.

Just between us.

Till next time.

Love
