The clip, which has garnered over 3.4 million views, shows the young boy studying at dawn after completing his household chores.
By 5:30 am, Pratap is out in the fields with his textbooks. With cattle grazing nearby and the first light of sunrise illuminating the pages, he turns the open farmland into his classroom. There are no walls, no desks, no formal setting, just focus, discipline and a clear sense of purpose.

The video made many praise his dedication at such a young age. What makes his story even more remarkable is that academics are only one part of his journey.

The profiles of at least three of China's leading nuclear, missile and radar experts were scrubbed from the website of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the country's most prestigious academic body. This comes as a series of purges under Premier Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign have decimated the upper echelons of China's military and scientific community.

The aircraft had also been used by senior Iranian officials and military figures for both domestic and international travel, and for coordinating with allied countries, the Israeli military said. Meanwhile, Dubai International Airport has resumed flight operations after a temporary suspension of about seven hours caused by a drone strike near a fuel tank facility.
