Man orders 'communist manifesto' online, gets copy of 'Bhagavad Gita'
Kolkata: In a hilarious turn of events, a man claimed on Facebook that he had ordered a 'communist manifesto' on an e-retail platform, but was instead delivered a copy of 'Bhagavad Gita'.
Attaching photos of the book and the invoice that said 'Communist Manifesto', Sutirtho Das, a resident of the metropolis, wrote on Facebook that he was taken by surprise on opening the delivery packet, as the two books were as different as chalk and cheese.
Das said that he had ordered a copy of 'Communist Manifesto' online on June 10 from the e-commerce giant, as it was offering a discount.
A parcel was delivered to his residence by a representative of the company on June 13, while he was at the office, Das wrote.
"On reaching home, I opened the package, and to my surprise, I found that the book delivered was 'Bhagavad Gita' and not the 'Communist Manifesto' that I ordered," he said.
The 120-page book seemed to be an abridged version of the Bhagavad Gita in the English language, he stated.
His Facebook post has invited hilarious comments and raised a few eyebrows.
Many have also shared his post.
Attempts to contact the e-retail company for clarification failed as no one responded to telephone calls

Advocate found dead in car on Nainital court premises
Nainital (PTI): A 55-year-old advocate allegedly died by suicide after shooting himself inside his car at the Nainital district court parking lot here on Monday, police said.
According to the police, Puran Singh Bhakuni, a resident of Mallital, was found in the rear seat of his vehicle with a gunshot wound to his temple.
Police recovered a licensed pistol from his hand and a suicide note from the car’s dashboard. The note stated that Bhakuni was unwell and suffering from depression.
"We received information through lawyers around noon. The deceased was lying in the back seat with a pistol in his hand and blood near his ear," Circle Officer Anjana Negi said.
Forensic teams and ballistic experts reached the spot to collect evidence, as no witness reported hearing the gunshot.
Government counsel Sushil Sharma stated that Bhakuni left home at 9 am and was found dead at 9.30 am.
Sharma raised concerns over the circumstances, noting that the body was in the rear seat, and demanded a thorough probe to rule out foul play. Bhakuni, who worked as a notary, had married six months ago, he said.
Police took the body into custody and sent it for a postmortem to confirm the cause of death.
The forensic laboratory will examine the suicide note and the ballistics of the weapon, the police said, adding that the investigation is ongoing.
