Kundu has no qualms in admitting that these seldom-discussed topics offer fodder to craft a "realistic and hard-hitting" Indian erotica. a b c Vatsyayana; SC Upadhyaya (transl) (1965).

Public women [prostitution], their life, what to expect and not, how to find them, regional practices, guarding and respecting them Suitable age for kama knowledge, the three goals of life: dharma, Artha, Kama; their essential interrelationship, natural human questions Contrary to popular belief, the ancient spiritual tradition of tantra isn’t all about sex. Tantra is in fact a way of understanding and experiencing the world that emphasises the interconnectedness of all things. Tantra teaches that the physical and the spiritual are not separate, but are two aspects of the same reality. Wendy Doniger & Sudhir Kakar 2002, pp.3–27 (Book 1), 28-73 (Book 2), 74–93 (Book 3), 94–103 (Book 4), 104–129 (Book 5), 131-159 (Book 6), 161-172 (Book 7).At the very beginning of the novel, in the prologue itself, Kundu introduces her beautiful but lonely protagonist with a masturbating scene. Unapologetic, she lucidly describes the scene that doesn't conform to stereotypical projection of women as meek and submissive in bed. Credit must go to Kundu for choosing her Meera as someone who is assertive and aware of her body and, most importantly, needs. It also explores the role of women in society and in the bedroom and encourages men to respect and honour their female partners. The story explores the exploitation of women and the societal pressure that forces them into such situations.

According to the Indologist De, a view with which Doniger agrees, this is one of the many evidences that the kamasutra began in the religious literature of the Vedic era, ideas that were ultimately refined and distilled into a sutra-genre text by Vatsyayana. [45] According to Doniger, this paradigm of celebrating pleasures, enjoyment and sexuality as a dharmic act began in the "earthy, vibrant text known as the Rigveda" of the Hindus. [48] The Kamasutra and celebration of sex, eroticism and pleasure is an integral part of the religious milieu in Hinduism and quite prevalent in its temples.
