ELI5: How did the Kama Sutra become a global phenomenon when Indian culture is generally very conservative? Was it a "hit" there too ?

I would argue you're making a philosophical mistake in equating conservatism with sexual prudence. In the West, Christianity demonized sexuality. But many other cultures regard it as a neutral, if not revered, facet of life. You must also understand that the terms "liberal" and "conservative" do not represent any specific dogma. This is the definition of conservative:

1. holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innovation, typically in relation to politics or religion.

As you can guess, context matters. What is traditional to us, is not necessarily so to others. How people express cautious attitudes differs from place to place, as do the circumstances that compel people to caution. In the US, a large segment of people have mistaken the word to basically mean "christian", and this is a misuse of the term. What "conservative" is can only be defined in relationship to one's own culture and the behaviors of his/her peers.
