In the 45-second clip, the girl cribs about the volume of homework for students through online classes.
The girl complains that her classes begin at 10 am and end at 2 pm. “There is English, Mathematics, Urdu and EVS. And then there is computer class as well… (Chhote bacchon ko itna kaam kyu dete ho, Modi saab) Why are small kids burdened with so much homework, PM Modi? The older kids who are in Class 7 and 8 should be given more homework,” she can be heard as saying.
Twitter users termed it as the cutest video on the internet.
