Netizens got moved by the viral video. They expressed their grief and anger. Several of them questioned and expressed anger towards the situation that forces mothers to kill themselves to provide for their children.
A country where education is being taxed and becoming a probable business for many, the mindset of the rich is not to let the poor get educated so that they always rule. So sad human life becomes so cheaper in India.
