1. Does she go around revealing in public that hey, I am so and so from unis x and y, working at law firm z (oh but yes, I am also the daughter of this top Indian politician)? As far as I know, not. She tries to lead her life just like anybody with her qualification combo + work ex would do. Therefore, there is a privacy implication here, which takes over at some point.

2. Do you really believe that in all circumstances? Does she really deserve to be shamed, trolled, bullied etc, for what her father does? Has she expressed approval for it? Or disapproval? As far as I can make out, she has tried to remove herself from this discussion entirely. If she had expressed some sort of view very publicly, or went about flinging it in peoples' faces (in India and/or England) that she is the daughter of so and so, then, I agree, there might be some questions to be considered.

Thank you for your reply and thank you for proving my point, good fellow. I may not (or may) enjoy you calling me a “filthy hypocrit[e]” but I certainly see no reason to limit your speech for that reason. You boldly announce that, “[f]ree speech, like every right, must be exercised responsibly.” But who decides the line beyond which speech becomes “irresponsible”? You, the committed moralist? Or the moderators of this forum, who have thought it fit to mark your contribution as “featured” while applauding me as “trollish”? Do you truly believe (and I feel sorry for you if you do) that you or anyone else possesses the awesome capacity of looking at the diversity of human experience and reducing its expression to one absolute standard that everyone must inevitably accept without question?

You confuse us and you confuse yourself when you deny the significance of a right (freedom of speech) by equating its value with a how person ought to behave. It is in the nature of rights that they are not “earned” on account of a human’s actions but are “inherent” from the moment the human comes into being. In this respect, your reasoning is no different from denying the poor their political franchise because you don’t consider their education and morality as synonymous (and thus acceptable) with your own. In other words, your righteousness and the resulting indignation here is more an expression of your ego than logic. Consequently, it is no good giving examples in other societies where freedom of speech has been violated for that is precisely why I wrote what I wrote in the first place.

As for the charge of why I am “radicalised on these matters”, look no further than the following news reports << https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/lucknow/25-held-37-social-media-accounts-to-be-blocked-for-misinformation-on-operation-sindoor-police-10003315/ >> / << https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/pune-student-held-for-pro-pakistan-post-rusticated-ats-nia-join-probe-9996521/ >>. In the days to come, more of such reports will surely follow.

You may think that your noble intentions in suppressing the rights of others are a valid justification for doing so but I assure you, dear fellow, that those who claim no such nobility will have no trouble in using your reasons against your own rights and of others.

For far too long in this country, under the guise of “decency” and “harmony” and “order”, the rights of the citizen have been forgotten, condemned, and distorted, simply as an assertion of brute power. There is little sense in calling oneself a citizen if one cannot stand for the rights of their fellow citizens, regardless of how pleasant or less-than-pleasant their conduct may have been. To borrow from another good fellow, “[i]f liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” << https://www.marxists.org/archive/orwell/1945/preface.htm >>.

Filthy hypocrit. When it is your own sister/friend/cousin/daughter/mother, you will be singing a very different song, I will promise you. Look at how the Reform UK lot behaved the moment Rupert Lowe, the MP for Great Yarmouth, even dared to be critical of the party leader (and they are self-proclaimed free speech absolutists). Or how the U.S. administration treats those media outlets who don't behave like lapdogs and call it "Gulf of America". Free speech, like every right, must be exercised responsibly. If people can't even market themselves without fear of retribution, then I don't know where we are; oh, you forgot to mention, why should she encounter problems because of what her dad does. As for other media outlets, them being irresponsible doesn't mean we have to be irresponsible, too. Free speech is allowing this discussion to take place, which is happening. Just because you are a free speech absolutist, doesn't mean those who aren't are stupid or something.

Definitions: "confrontations that are less than pleasant" are hearing views that shock, offend, horrify or even disgust you. They do not involve encouraging of harassment or violating the rights of other people. Your understanding of these concepts is extraordinarily polarised, I beg to ask why you are so radicalised on these matters.

From Zubair of Alt News:

The first person to target Vikram Misri and his daughter is Chandan Kumar Singh @TheSquind

. Soon after he tweeted this, his troll army started sharing details of his daughter's insta account, linkedin details, contact details. Etc.

This is not the first time he did this. He is a repeat offender. He has doxxed several young women in the past.

https://x.com/zoo_bear/status/1921614534453690396

▮▮▮ and their alumni should issue a statement regarding Misri’s daughter. Apart from being misogynistic and offensive, the trolling is based on an absolute lie. She works with ▮▮▮ in London and handles commercial arbitration. She is not a woke NGO lawyer representing Rohingyas in India! How stupid are these people??!! 😩It hurts the BJP’s credibility when brainless morons spread such nonsense.

Yes, she was involved with human rights centres at ▮▮▮ as an ▮▮▮, but literally every student does that and it helps during LLM applications (▮▮▮ in her case). Lots of RW people themselves intern with human rights and legal aid centres!

Posting the details about his daughter's educational qualifications and work situation on here was extraordinarily unwise, deeply irresponsible and indiscrete in the extreme. One google search by me of literally ten seconds helped unearth precisely who she is. Do you think Legally India has no trolls? There are plenty of people in the world whose only purpose in life is to put others down, and yet who have other skills as well. Please, mods, ensure that this comment is deleted immediately.

Foreign Secretary of India locks his account after RW trolls attacked his daughter (a ▮▮▮-▮▮▮ grad working in a top law firm abroad) for human rights work she did in college

https://www.cnbctv18.com/india/foreign-secretary-vikram-misri-daughters-targeted-in-online-abuse-after-india-and-pakistan-halt-military-actions-19602787.htm

https://www.thequint.com/news/india/mea-fs-vikram-misri-protects-twitter-account-amid-online-abuse-trolls-target-daughter

Here's what we can do to help:

1. Immediately report all the accounts and get them banned. It's not enough to condemn, you need to report the accounts and take screenshots as proof (before they are deleted). One of the RW accounts in question has thousands of followers.

2. Pressure the admin of the concerned NLU to issue a statement of support

3. Tag human rights lawyers like Indira Jaising, Karuna Nundy etc. Their help may be needed, in case courts are approached to put a stop to this.
