Gurmehar Kaur is probably the most famous college student in India right now and her strong stand against violence has brought her tons of attention, a lot of it being not so positive. Daughter of a Kargil martyr Captain Mandeep Singh and an advocate of peace, she made a statement about how the war killed her father, not Pakistan.
With that statement, people on Twitter took to trolling her and Virender Sehwag led the pack with one tweet.

— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) February 26, 2017Sehwag is known for his witty trolling and comebacks on Twitter but he completely missed the mark this time as his response was not at all funny. Moreover, his tweet opened the gates for so much hate for Gurmehar Kaur.
Randeep Hooda also decided to join in and applaud Sehwag.

— Randeep Hooda (@RandeepHooda) February 26, 2017This initial tweet opened up gates for more trolling and started off a really unfunny ‘meme’.
I didnt slap you for your stupidity. My hand did. (Does that even make sense?) #GurMehar
— Unpaid Bhakt (@Tarkik) February 28, 2017People started coming up with extremely insensitive stuff as well.

— Yogeshwar Dutt (@DuttYogi) February 28, 2017A lot of patronizing was also going on.
Dear #GurMehar Your Father was MARTYRED Not KILLED First Respect Your father"
— sanjay verma (@sanjayv28320692) February 28, 2017Union minister of state for home affairs Kiren Rijiju also tweeted asking who was polluting Gurmehar’s mind.
Who's polluting this young girl's mind? A strong Arm Force prevents a war. India never attacked anyone but a weak India was always invaded. https://t.co/gXHkAGi9sh
— Kiren Rijiju (@KirenRijiju) February 27, 2017Yeah, because apparently, she can’t think for herself and has to be influenced by someone to form opinions, right? All she is doing is calling for peace. And that has also become such a political thing.
What a way to derail her message against violence.
After this semister #Gurmehar Kaur would be like pic.twitter.com/zBaC5fXUoF
