> Eulogies

> The closing down of one of India's most popular websites has
> prompted eulogies from famous media commentators, feminists and
> sociologists. Pritish Nandy, writer and film producer wrote in a
> national daily that "Savita Bhabhi is a symbol of freedom, of
> empowerment, of the sexuality our women can wield if they are
> allowed to escape the sham world we Indian men trap them in because
> of our own fears of sexual inadequacy masquerading as machismo."
> Adman and TV commentator Suhel Seth, added that "the fact that she
> was called 'bhabhi' indicates a perverseness that always existed [in
> India] but we were in denial about." Others, millions of voyeuristic
> internet fans, are just plain sad that they aren't going to see the
> frisky homemaker in action.
