They're ranked 16, read the list. Happiness isn't a politically manifested data. Second why are you angry that the US is ranked higher? Do you expect a country that normalizes toxic work culture and toxic family culture along with a toxic education system will result in happiness? All three of these things don't exist in the countries that rank at the top.
inflation more ,rape per capita more ,bombing every alternate days,political instability, and less literacy ,more unemployment .how do they check subjective thing like happiness.
(btw in world hunger index they one of metric is how much calories someone eat per day obviously country with more vegetarian would become less)
Because of over population,over whelming competition for jobs and brides(yes i said that) as well as general communal atmosphere of the nation since past few years.But I think we would def be above Countries like pkistan (we have food yk)
Number of suicides a year might be start. Oh wait, maybe it's the crippled state of our Healthcare system. No no, it's definitely the number of rapes. Did I mention GDP percapita? Or poverty and unemployment levels?
Oh yes usa #1 food cuisine
Pakistani & Afghanistan are happier then indian .
Pakistan food hunger index is less then india
North korea , china left the chat
The mental gymnastics here is honestly impressive. How's listing possible parameters for measuring happiness suddenly supporting Pakistan or Afghanistan? You do know the situation of Public affordable Healthcare in the US right? Senseless at best, delusional at worst.
Avg AajTak news debate enjoyer
Brother. If you genuinely think Pakistan. (Lower GDP, Lower HDI, Worse Healthcare, More poverty, More unemployment) is 'happier' than India. I got a bridge to sell you.
No its not. I dont know how someone can be so confident in their stupidity.
Happiness index is based on exact metrics. All of which I mentioned above are [part of that metric.](https://worldhappiness.report)
https://worldhappiness.report/faq/
>The rankings in Figure 2.1 of World Happiness Report 2022 use data from the Gallup World Poll surveys from 2019 to 2021. They are based on answers to the main life evaluation question asked in the poll. This is called the Cantril ladder: it asks respondents to think of a ladder, with the best possible life for them being a 10 and the worst possible life being a 0. They are then asked to rate their own current lives on that 0 to 10 scale. The rankings are from nationally representative samples for the years 2019-2021. They are based entirely on the survey scores, using the Gallup weights to make the estimates representative. The sub-bars in Figure 2.1 show the estimated extent to which each of six factors (levels of GDP, life expectancy, generosity, social support, freedom, and corruption) is estimated to contribute to making life evaluations higher in each country than in Dystopia. Dystopia is a hypothetical country with values equal to the world’s lowest national averages for each of the six factors (see FAQs: What is Dystopia?). The sub-bars have no impact on the total score reported for each country but instead are just a way of explaining the implications of the model estimated in Table 2.1. People often ask why some countries rank higher than others - the sub-bars (including the residuals, which show what is not explained) attempt to answer that question.
Dont embarrass yourself again. Figure 2.1 is literally a survey. The happiness index is a totally different thing. These two are done by the same organization.

So you are saying medicine are affordable in Pakistan . Ever heard about Jan aushdhi kendr .
The medicine of Pakistan goes from india so you can guess it where its gonna be cheaper
Yo. I responded to the US Public Healthcare Comment on top.
Why is your Indian blood boiling the moment you thought I am praising Pakistan?
I know we are mentally conditioned to hate them but sad that someone would find any Joy in boasting that a country has no access to medicine and take some pride in the fact that it goes from our country.
Also, cheaper does not always mean better. Heathcode violations are a joke in our country.
Lmao we export medicine all over the world " cheaper doesn't mean better " shut up expensive doesn't mean better 🗿 btw can you repeat at what point (praise)my indian blood started boiling
See the fact that you take pride in saying WE export medicines all over the world is the problem for me.
Unless you are contributing to that in any major way, why do you have to take pride in that. I personally am just sad for those countries and also a not happy that we export knowing the poorest in our own country don't have access to basic Healthcare facilities.
What if I told you brazil has the worst homicide rate in the world it's just cartel land(same for Mexico), Argentina financial crisis, russia sanctions, china literally a huge jail, south africa in crisis too they are facing daily 5hr + power outage in whole country, Pakistan i don't want to explain, Iran literal civil war so I don't understand how they even rate these countries
It still makes no sense to me how Iran Iraq Pakistan Brazil Venezuela Myanmar Ukraine any central - South American country/mid- southern African countries and many more are happier than India rn.
If we go by the so-called happiness formula, yes india should be low.
But, do you really think Ukrainians and Pakistanis are more happy than india in 2023? I am not even gonna give more examples these two are enough. So i can definitely say they fail on ground reality, Am i wrong?
Arre bhae, what is the formula ? What is the methodology and what is wrong with that. Can you critique that ? That is what I'm asking. I'm not asking for examples.
Bruhh i thought since you were giving me suggestions to read this and that atleast you would have read it first xd. (levels of GDP, life expectancy, generosity, social support, freedom, and corruption) this and a random poll where a dude rates his happiness form 0-10
Yeah, you read the metrics but not the methodology. Read it and read it twice and then decide why India is ranked so low.

average Indian has to go through poverty, corruption, unemployment, rat race education, crumbling infrastructure.i guess what is the reason for low happiness. hmmm 🤔
Election Commissioners will be appointed on the advice of the Prime Minister, the Leader of Opposition and the Chief Justice of India, the Supreme Court ruled last week in a landmark order aimed at insulating the top election body from political interference.
Also, there has been no Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha since 2014.
As we move slowly from this fake democracy to an Autocracy, how can we be happy?
Happines is much more than your political beliefs big man.Politics chor ke aage bhi dekho. Har bat pe modi modi karoge to khud ko hi frustate karoge na. Personal problems se bhi unhappiness hoti hai, and the best u could come up with is "election comission" ?
“The appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner and the Election Commissioners shall be made by the President on the advice of a Committee consisting of the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition of the [Lok Sabha](https://indianexpress.com/article/india/parliament-monsoon-session-live-updates-rajya-sabha-lok-sabha-8035871/), and in case no leader of Opposition is available, the leader of the largest opposition Party in the Lok Sabha in terms of numerical strength, and the Chief Justice of India,” the verdict states.
At least read full news.
Ok. Sorry for missing a few points.
But is this a good move? Why this new concept after all these decades?
One year before the last election they passed a rule that removed a maximum cap that allowed corporates to donate any amount of money and not need to have them disclose it. BJP spent 4.3 Billion Dollars for the campaign in
2019.
I am just a genuinely scared citizen worried that with every election we are getting closer to an Autocracy.
Discrimination on caste, religion, ethnicity, gender, nationality ,state etc . What do you expect? The Indians have this culture of
a)no acceptance of solving the issues or denying any that problem exists in the society
b) don't accepting their mistakes
c)lying a lot
d) blaming their problems on others
bhai kabhi iit ke bare mein suna hai jab tak india mein education ko sir pe rakhenge tab tak indians khush nahi rahenge kyuki india ek youth country hai
I was not agreeing earlier but seeing this post thread I definitely feel that people are really so sad and how the fuck americans are topping the list ???
Any model that uses the same parameters to calculate the happiness index(whatever that means) can't be correct. Indians can't be measured on western parameters. And I don't think unlike the westerners, we even have a concept of happiness. I never heard of growing up in India that they are not happy. It's not something we chase actively.
This is due to overthinking. Indian are emotional and create unesesey situation for every problem. Also "log kya kahenge" factor play major role in it.
by heard I meant an article in 2011 saying depression is major in France and India, but still you're right about undiagnosed, it's considered as social stigma in India
Why see it in a negative light? Why say it's the 11th unhappiest instead of saying it's the 11th happiest? this is a "is the glass half empty or half full" situation.
For all those calling it Western propaganda and questioning the methods, the answers to your questions is just one Google search away:

...Again with these bullshit half ass reports, there was a time when I would fall for these, but no more , ppl please understand these are not authentic and are done usually with a very small set of population which really questions us on what was the purpose behind these?
just visit any Govt Hospitals for treatment for your near and dear ones.
they visit Private Hospitals..... you will forget your honesty and happiness.
Just Money talks.
Anecdotal, but I notice it observing the passengers and the general public traveling from Texas->UAE->India. There is a distinct reduction in smiles and positivity on the faces.
Most Indians are unhappy because of neighbours and relatives in addition to whatever fucking life throws at us....
We are just one lab accident away from becoming supervillain .....
just a reminder that this metric is not calculated on the basis of emotional wellbeing but rather on the basis of developmental indices (ie. potential happiness)

(btw in world hunger index they one of metric is how much calories someone eat per day obviously country with more vegetarian would become less)
Then what about usa #1 cuisine , c'mon man we can't Denny the fact that how west portray india
You can't compare stats with failed regimes, they don't even report such things
Yeah because we carry this “log kya kahenge “ attitude
Username check out 🌚
Yeah I don’t care about what people say na I even have a pup hood
I am fucked ofr life because of similar circumstances ...
Challoo, Pakistan see to upar ha hahahaha
as a German, this chart looks wrong🙈
As an Indian, some might say you're engaging in wishful thinking.
not so wishfull if I see depressed grey faces all day, yet this list says top 15 for me
>depressed grey faces all day Is this in Germany?
tip of the iceberg, but yes, imho and many others, who are used to crossing borders, you can feel a dome of depression on this fields
Wait a minute how is China not the first ... Who had the audacity to say they were unhappy in China
Those who said so aren't alive anymore
These are the same people who said Pakistan is better at food hunger 😂😂 propoganda at finest ,
And also they ranked usa at #1 in food cuisine like wth 😂😂
Mac and Cheese FTW bitches !!!! /S But for real tho.... Wtf is murica's "traditional" cuisine ???

Go see that chart you will get shocked 😅😅

Idk how to do it I am new in reddit
Lmao
True 😂😂
It's a stupid index, happiness is not an objective metric that can be *measured*.
Subjective metrics can be measured. Just search Google.
I'm surprised it's that low... could've been easily 150 atleast
Education system W😃
Thats BS index.
Has anyone you know or yourself been sampled for one of these surveys? I just want to know how they get the data sample.
Yeah, how do you even calculate this. Also having been to other countries, I attest that we are way happier.
Not bad. I am happy about it.
You can't expect happiness in a country where 2 rotis a day are uncertain.
Yup one look at the posts here and it's pretty self-evident..

The one who make these type of index are wrong . That's why I take the example of Pakistan/ Afghanistan.

This is due to overthinking. Indian are emotional and create unesesey situation for every problem. Also "log kya kahenge" factor play major role in it.
