The Rule of Law Index from the World Justice Project is critical to assessing countries’ adherence to justice, accountability, and legal governance. This research paper analyzes the Rule of Law Index of South Asian countries: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Nepal. The legal systems, socio-economic disparities, and history of the region have created unique challenges and opportunities for advancing the rule of law. This study employs a comprehensive research methodology that integrates quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitatively, the study relies on the World Justice Project’s comprehensive data collection from the Rule of Law Index, spanning several years. The purpose of this data collection is to identify and analyze trends and patterns across the South Asian countries under study. The study uses expert interviews, content analysis of legal texts, and historical case studies to enhance the qualitative aspects of the quantitative conclusions. The use of a mixed-methods approach allows for a thorough understanding of the dynamics of the rule of law in South Asian countries, thereby allowing for a more comprehensive evaluation of the various elements that impact legal governance in the region. The study reveals emerging patterns and trends in South Asia by analyzing components of the Rule of Law Index, including limited government authority, absence of corruption, transparent governance, protection of fundamental rights, maintenance of law and order, and effective enforcement of regulations. The findings help identify context-specific strengths and weaknesses.
