Shor Bazaar's "Savita Bhabhi"


Around three weeks ago, my friend Kris' band Shor Bazaar (Noise Market) released their first single "Savita Bhabhi" independently. For the foreigners, Savita Bhabhi is an Indian comic porn character. Since in the Indian society anything related to sex is a huge taboo, the government decided to ban the porn site. Shor Bazaar dedicate this single to Savita Bhabhi and to the freedom of expression.

In Kris' own words:
"Personally, I believe Savita Bhabhi.com is a very genuine and creative concept - at least, from the point of view of our society. I see her as person who defied the stereotype of an Indian woman, always bound by restrictions and rules, suffocated of a right to express her feelings and desires.

It is unfortunate that our Government decided to ban the website. I feel that the echoes the discrimination towards sexual minorities. Hence, this song feels like a liberation - a tribute to freedom of expression, the freedom to be yourself."
The song is a humorous, tongue-in-cheek take on the travails of young men with their graphic object of fantasy - Savita Bhabhi. If you understand Hindi, check out the single on the links given below. If you don't, check it out anyway for the music. Cheers! ^_^
