Aakar Patel | How India keeps falling in global indices: The issue is governance…
Deccan ChronicleIn 2021, I wrote a book called Price of the Modi Years. Freedom House’s “Freedom in the World” index looks at the rule of law, political pluralism and elections, functioning of government, civil liberties, freedom of expression, association and organisation and individual rights. The World Justice Project’s Rule of Law Index rates nations on criminal and civil justice system, fundamental rights, constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, transparent government, order and security and regulatory enforcement. The Heritage Foundation’s Global Economic Freedom Index monitors rule of law, government size, regulatory efficiency and open markets. Reasons cited include “large scale political corruption”; “little evidence that anti-corruption laws are effective”; “foundations for long-term economic development remain fragile without an efficiently functioning legal framework”; “overall rule of law is weak in India”.
