Living in the era of digitalisation & reading the news that arrays the possibility of converting the cosmos to earth has done nothing with the downtrodden, poverty stricken millions of people who are neither aware of their basic rights nor governed by the measures of the welfare State. Yes, it is the truth at present regarding the rights of human being in South Asia. Though governed by elected representatives, the voices of the underprivileged and marginalised groups are not heard in countries like Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka. The trade involved in trafficking, smuggling, cyber terrorism has flourished in this decade and made it a business over billions of money in it. Apart from it the Crackdowns on the Right to Freedom of Expression intensified across the region. Enforced disappearances continued to scar communities in Pakistan and Bangladesh; civilian casualties remained at record highs in Afghanistan, civil society organisations continued to be harassed and shut down in almost every country. Journalists continued to be targeted, members of the political opposition were arbitrarily arrested, religious and ethnic minority groups and Indigenous Peoples continued to be demonised. This paper is the comparative study of the above stated violations with that of the competency and adequacy of the laws on both the national and international forums to control and eradicate such inhuman practices.
