‘Why such prolonged online classes Modi sahib?’ asks 6-year-old Mahira Irfan, 6, who studies in Class 1, has brought into the spotlight her media-shy family and the nondescript Maharajpura Colony in Srinagar’s Batamaloo area. Her video on taxing online classes during the pandemic forced the J&K administration to change its teaching policy this week. Little Ms. Irfan’s two-storey house has turned into an overnight attraction for locals and the media. “Media men have been lining up to do her interviews,” her father, a businessman, said. “We are not used to it [interviews],” he added.
