On the day her dad had a memorable meeting with Cuban leader Fidel Castro in Havana, thousands of miles away in New York City, Amrit Singh, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's youngest daughter, was part of a discussion on 'Courtroom perspectives on the war on terror.' Amrit is an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, which advocates individual rights by litigating, legislating, and educating the American public on a broad array of issues affecting individual freedom. Her outspoken campaign against the Bush administration's contempt for civil liberties earned her a front page report in The Wall Street Journal some weeks ago. Amrit, 36, a graduate of the prestigious Yale Law School, is the only one of the prime minister's three daughters who lives abroad. The eldest daughter teaches at a college in New Delhi and is married to a fellow academic while the middle daughter works for an NGO and is married to an Indian Police Service officer. Amrit is a consistent critic of US President George W Bush -- who is known to greatly respect her father -- and has raised issues of abuse of prisoners in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay. She also helped win a legal decision to have the Pentagon release photographs illustrating this abuse in 2005. Photograph: Mohammed Jaffer/Snaps India |
