Kirtu is a word that, by association, has become synonymous with sexually explicit comics or animation originating in India, which depict modern Indian sexuality. The common noun is derived from the domain name of the popular erotic comics website Kirtu.com, although as a proprietary eponym it is often used to refer to Indian cartoon pornography in general, much like hentai is used to denote sexually explicit or pornographic comics and animation from Japan, particularly anime, manga, and computer games.
Savita Bhabhi is an adult Indian comics porn written in English and Hindi feat. Explicit depictions of the sexual adventures of the housewife Savita Bhabhi. Document about Savita Bhabi Comics Hindi is available on print and digital. One of digital edition of Savita Bhabi Comics Hindi that can be search along.
Pornography is illegal in India, and although it is available virtually anywhere, especially in areas where pirated material is already being sold, it is generally of the softcore variety and typically of low quality.[1]
Hardcore pornography involving actors and models, both on film and in photographs, is much more difficult to come by, and almost impossible to produce and distribute domestically because of the ban.[2] Therefore, illustrated and animated pornography is an increasingly popular alternative in India to hardcore content performed by people. Although various websites and print outlets besides kirtu.com exist, animated pornography in general is often referred to simply as 'kirtu'.[3][4]
History[edit]
India played a significant role in the history of human sexuality, from writing the first literature that treated sexual intercourse as a science, to modern times, where the origin of the philosophical focus of new-age groups' attitudes on sex came from. It may be argued that India pioneered the use of sexual education through art and literature, and it is the birthplace of the Kama Sutra, an ancient Indian Hindu text widely considered to be the standard work on human sexual behavior.
In modern India, however, there is a great taboo on sex due to a variety of reasons, many of which involve cultural values which were native to India.
In Indian film and television, there is currently a decrease in the taboo related to the depiction of sexuality. However, many Bollywood films, with an emphasis on the rich and urban class, rarely depict the true values that most Indians have about sex.[5] Since a legitimate pornography industry has yet to emerge within India, many low-quality, foreign-made films featuring Indians are made abroad and then imported, leaving open the possibility of sexual exploitation.[5][6]
Illustrated graphic pornography, however, removes the possibility of sexual exploitation while addressing the same explicit subject matter.[6]
The term 'kirtu' originates in the Kama Sutra. Modern translations of the ancient text are all based on original writings attributed to Vātsyāyana, a Hindu philosopher in the Vedic tradition who is believed to have lived during time of the Gupta Empire (4th to 6th centuries CE). The Kama Sutra was composed from many sources, not all of which were used in the Vatsyayana version. Deshmukh, the pseudonymous creator of Kirtu.com, claims to have chosen as its name the anglicization of the Sanskrit term for an untranslated and forbidden sex position in the uncompiled Kama Sutra texts that involves the penetration of all of a woman's orifices, much like the mythical Venus Butterfly position in the West. This position is known as the 'kirtu'.[7][8]
Savita Bhabhi[edit]
'Savita Bhabhi - The Sexual Adventures of a Hot Indian Bhabhi' is the most popular kirtu comic in India[9] It is an eroticwebcomic about the adventures of a bored and emotionally neglected housewife. Initially, the cartoon strip was free to view, but, after the government threatened to prosecute the strip's creators and the owners of its website, the strip moved to kirtu.com and required a subscription fee to view.
In addition to Savita Bhabhi, the site has developed many other ongoing and limited-edition series specifically aimed at Indian culture, each of which caters to a certain demographic of the population. The site and its contents have become a cause célèbre for cultural freedom among many of India's liberalthinkers and social scientists.[10]

Production of pornography is broadly illegal in India.[6] 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 blogger and journalist Amit Varma.[7] 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.[8]
Initially the creators of the site chose to remain anonymous, going under the assumed collective name Indian Porn Empire.[9] 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.[10]
