How did Kamasutra originate in India?

Kama Sutra isn't a concept to have originated. It is the name of a book written by Vatsayana that's now considered to be the standard compilation of human sexual behavior If you are asking how Vatsayana came with that idea, I believe that Indians were open about sex than anyone else. Indians associated sex with spirituality, pleasure and that which everyone is open about. We even have a dedicated God of Love ( Kamadeva ). Kama sutra (Formulas of desire), written more than 1500 years ago by Vatsyayan is still an international bestseller and one of the most downloaded books from Internet. “Kama sutra” could be called as a “ Gift of India to the world” because neither any ancient nor any modern book have written anything like this on one of the most controversial and marketable subject on the earth- “Sex”.

Fist of all a pray and thanks to The Greatest among Great Scientist  The  Aryabhata. The credit for the invention of zero goes to Indian mathematicians and the number zero first appears in a book about ‘arithmetic’ written by an Indian mathematician‘Brahamagupta’. Zero signifies ‘nothing’ and the current definition calls it an ‘additive identity’. Mathematically; x + 0 = x, i.e. 0 is a number which, when added to a number yields the same number. When we go deeper, it becomes clearer that the things are much more complex. It wasn’t that somebody suddenly came up with the idea of the zero and the mathematicians throughout the world accepted it. Around 500 AD, Aryabhata, an Indian mathematician, devised a numbers system and the symbol he used for the number zero was also the number used to represent an unknown element (x). This system was confusing but the improvements continued and by 876 AD, the concept of zero was mostly understood and the symbol for it was a...
