Lack of basic information leads to false propaganda (see the tweet in the image)
कामसूत्र is not written by Richard Burton. Authorship is with वात्स्यायन (~300 BCE) - a well known fact
Person who doesn't know such basic info has made a video to denounce this text !!

In fact, title of Burton's translation work in 1883 was - Kamasutra of Vatsyayana
Burton himself has acknowledged that this is not his work but is of वात्स्यायन and Burton has just translated it
So, saying "Burton written Kamasutra" is an agenda driven white lie.
