The Indian government recently banned a website that runs a cartoon strip about the sexual escapades of a hot Indian bhabhi (“sister-in-law”), described as a “regular Indian woman who just can’t get enough sex”. This is a curious move in an age of widely accessible cyberporn, with countless sites saturated with far more explicit hardcore videos and images, representing ~10% of the most trafficked Internet sites. What is so transgressive about Savita Bhabhi to warrant such draconian action? Shohini Ghosh examines the phenomenon in some detail.

Savita is an attractive middle class housewife whose dull, workaholic husband is rarely home. Consequently, she has ample time and space for torrid sexual encounters with, among others, a door-to-door lingerie salesman, local teens playing cricket, a former lover visiting from abroad, a potential boss, his secretary, a famous film star (with an uncanny resemblance to Amitabh Bachchan), a newly employed servant, the husband of her husband’s office colleague and a terrorist. As is evident from this brief summary, Savita Bhabi embodies for the moral purists, the most terrifying ideas about sexual transgression. She is married but not monogamous. She has sex for fun and not for procreation or love and in choosing lovers she does not discriminate on the grounds of class, caste, gender, occupation, age or status. Having had the most outrageous escapades, she gets away with it all.
