Abstract
The Rule of Law is the basis for all democratic constitutions, implying nobody, be it an individual, be it an institution, shall be above the Laws of the land and that Laws should operate equivalently for all. The Indian Law of the land embodies this Rule of Law through its Constitution and an independent judiciary. However, the practical implementation of the principle has been far from smooth and is often obstructed by political manipulation, inefficiency of institutions, and social inequalities. This research therefore offers an account of the implementation of the Rule of Law in India and assesses its implications on governance, delivery of justice, and the rights of citizens.
