‘Why so much homework’: 6-year-old Myru Irfan’s appeal to PM Modi sparks real change

Myru’s father shared her video complaining about schoolwork to PM Modi on WhatsApp. Little did Myru or her parents anticipate that she would soon be an internet sensation - and prompt the government to take action.

Little Myru Irfan’s parents gave her a mobile phone on the condition that she would use it only for online classes. One day, fed up with her school work load, the six-year-old thought to complain to the only person she believed could do something Prime Minister Narendra Modi. So she filmed herself narrating all the hardships that kids her age were facing and asked ‘Modi Saab’ “Why so much homework?” Very adorable complaint. Have directed the school education department to come out with a policy within 48 hours to lighten burden of homework on school kids. Childhood innocence is gift of God and their days should be lively, full of joy and bliss. https://t.co/8H6rWEGlDa Amused by the video, Myru’s father shared it with some friends on WhatsApp. That was two week ago. Little did Myru or her parents anticipate that she would soon be an internet sensation. The video began to circulate on the messaging app, before winding up on Twitter, where a journalist posted it with the caption "A six-year-old Kashmiri girl's complaint to @PMOIndia @narendramodi regarding long hours of online classes and too much school work."
