Several social media users have reacted to the video  saying that they can completely relate the child’s frustration with that of their own child. The viral video, which received more than 11.6K likes on Twitter, has moved Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha. On Monday, he took note of an "adorable complaint" and instructed the school education department to form a policy within 48 hours to reduce the homework load.

Check out a few other reactions below:

One user wrote that they wished to help her out with her homework, while another urged PM Modi to "make this cute little girl happy".  One person went on to request teachers to not burden kids with online classes. "Better to split the classes and stop teaching them EVS and comp, she is 6."

I Love you lil Dolll , You are such a cute girl. I wish i could help you out with your homework.

Many people called the little girl "endearing" for her candid video. Then, there was one person who shed light on how children's plight during the pandemic often goes unnoticed. He said, "We need to understand how this pandemic has affected innocent children badly".

Cutest 😊. But we need to understand how this pandemic has affected the innocent children badly.

A child should be made excited for studies instead of making them feel exhausted. So sad to see her like that 🙄😣
