Kam Sutra Could End Conflicts

With clashes of religions and civilisations growing through all the world, conservative views over sexuality are becoming norm in south Asia and other parts of the globe.

The Taliban are whipping girls for having relationship with a boy, love lorn couples are being strangulated or beheaded in public view for choosing their partners out of their caste.

Recent issues that influence India, as part of the sexual revolution, have become points of argument between conservative and liberal forces, such as political parties and religious pressure groups. Many sexual issues are used as ways of political parties garnering votes amongst conservative Indians. These issues are also matters of ethical importance in a nation where freedom and equality are guaranteed in the constitution.

This all is going in a country where Kama Sutra was written and still we worship Lord ShivaLord Shiva symbolised by phallus resting on a vagina, both conjugates to depict creative energy, life and power.

The KamSutra is the oldest and most notable of a group of texts known generically as Kama Shshtra in Sanskrit.Traditionally, the first transmission of Kama Shashtra or "Discipline of Kama" is attributed to Nandi the sacred bull, Shiva’s doorkeeper, who was moved to sacred utterance by overhearing the lovemaking of the god and his wife Parvati and later recorded his utterances for the benefit of mankind.

Much later on scholar Vatsyayan written this beautiful book about love making which is capable of minimising all kinds of socio-political-cultural conflicts afflicting this beautiful world.

Kama Sutra is certainly a thing which needs to be popularised.
