Tradition is that kung fu was developed in China. The Bodhidharma is believed to have created it to teach the Shoalin Monks. Since he was from India, it is believed he combined the arts he learned there with new insights.
Second answer:
The indigenous Martial Arts that normally fall under the umbrella term "kung fu" were indeed created in China. However, they developed independently of South Asian fighting arts. The legend of Bodhidharma teaching medicinal breathing and stretching exercises to the monks comes from the 17th-century. Stan Henning has shown in his paper "Ignorance, Legend and Taijiquan" that the idea of the Zen patriarch teaching the monks boxing didn't come about until the 20th-century.
For a broad overview of Shaolin martial history, see Prof. Shahar's book The Shaolin Monastery (2008).
