Update 15 minutes after posting:
False alarm! Savita Bhabhi is not actually, really, DEAD — it is just that her Indian visa seems to have been revoked. She is very much alive (or reincarnated?) in the US, and the site even provides an alternative URL http://savitabhabhifree.blogspot.com/, which I have not verified yet. I think it will be quite hard for Indian government to keep banning blogspot, won’t it? The reason for my assumption that she was completely dead was the Huffington Post article I quoted below, and the fact that I was entering a wrongly spelt URL savitabhabi.com, missing the second h. My originally written post follows nevertheless.
