contents We investigate helical edge states (HES) emerging at the composite domain wall of spin and pseudo-spin degrees of freedom in a 2-D bulk governed by the Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang Hamiltonian which underwent quantum spin Hall to anomalous Hall transition. We numerically study the stability of Majorana bound state (MBS) formed due to proximity induced superconductivity in these helical edge states. We establish exceptional robustness of MBS against moderate chemical potential or magnetic disorder owing to the existence of the simultaneous orthogonality between the right and the left moving modes both in spin and pseudo-spin space. Hence our proposal could pave the way to realizing robust Majorana bound state on 2D platforms.
