On Thursday a photo of a book sale on the world-famous e-commerce website Amazon went viral. Ironically titled, "MASTERSTROKE: 420 secrets that helped PM in India's employment growth!" this book by "Berozgar Bhakt" is just 56 empty pages. The book is about Prime Minister's performance in maintaining unemployment.
The book is titled "Masterstroke" and is published under the pseudonym "Berozgar Bhakt". The book has been on sale on Amazon's website for some time. It had a cover of Narendra Modi's blurred photo. The book's description reads, "How a great leader helped a struggling nation to emerge glorious in the war against COVID-19 and walk down the path of prosperity."
Inside were 56 pages, all left intentionally blank. It was available as a Kindle download priced at Rs 56, and free of cost for Kindle Unlimited subscribers. This was the work of an irreverent Redditor, who says he is a victim of the growing wave of unemployment in the country.
According to sources, the book was written by an engineer from Jharkhand who came up with the idea due to unemployment. I did this to check out how the Kindle publication works. To make people laugh by doing something new, I created this book in 15 minutes and put it up for sale on Amazon. According to the website, users can then publish some books on Amazon for minutes. It can be sold for 2 days on the Amazon site. A company spokesman said the book was no longer available on Amazon.
