Answer 3

The Kama Sutra was sort of a businessman's guide to pleasing a woman. It has some ties to the Indian culture, but is not necessarily a religious text.

Answer 4

The fourth value of Hindu culture after liberation (moksha), justice (dharma), and wealth (artha) was pleasure (kama). The Kama Sutra by Vatsyayana presented views on how pleasure can be attained, particularly erotically. Sexual morals varied, some abstaining from adultery; others considered it a risk worth taking. The attitudes of ancient India toward sexuality seemed to be quite practical and open-minded.

Introduction

The Kamashastra  is the ancient Indian treatise governing the relationship of humans and the sexes. Its origins can be traced to very first rules of conduct (along with the Dharmashstra and the Athrashastra) in Hinduism. Numerous saints and sages wrote commentaries on the treatise for the common man, known as the Kamasutra (kaa-ma-soo-tra, meaning Aphorisms on Love), but as Dr. Kamat points out in his Introduction to Erotic arts of India, most of these works have been lost.  

Fortunately one such guide by sage Vatsyayana (a.k.a. Vatasayana) written in the early part of the Christian era (see a note on dating of the Kamasutra)  is available today in its full form and beauty, and is generally referred to as The Kamasutra of Vatsyayana or simply the Kamasutra.

The various editions of Kamasutra have inspired the Indian art, dance, and music for centuries and artists have interpreted the the sensuality in their own skills, imagination, and art forms. In this section we look at art and literature inspired by the Kamasutra.

These interpretations and their marriage to ancient works of literature is by me, and the tongue-in-cheek commentary may be pardoned.

Although generally identified with Hinduism, the caste system was also observed among followers of other religions in the Indian subcontinent, including some groups of Muslims and Christians.  The Indian Constitution has outlawed caste-based discrimination, in keeping with the socialist, secular, democratic principles that founded the nation.Caste barriers have mostly broken down in large cities though they persist in rural areas of the country. The caste system, in various forms, does continue to play a major role in Indian society and politics
