The Kama Sutra of Vatsayana is the Hindu treatise on love and social conduct

a celebrated classic of Indian literature. The 1964 publication of Sir Richard Buron’s translation marked the first wide appearance in English of the Kama Sutra and was celebrated as a literary event of highest importance. As vital to an understanding of ancient Indian civilisation as the works of Plato and Aristotle are to the West, the Kama Sutra has endured for 1,700 years as an indisputable classic of world literature. Written with frankness and unassuming candour, the Kama Sutra remains one of the most readable and enjoyable of all the classics of antiquity. A work of philosophy, psychology, sociology, Hindu dogma, scientific inquiry, and sexology, the Kama Sutra’s importance is so great that it has at the same time both affected Indian civilisation and remained an indispensable key to understanding it.
