Indians among world's happiest people: poll

[3Idiots]

Why is China unhappy eventhough they are 40 years ahead of India in all fields.

Becoz they burnt up all their coal, so that USA can be happy.

And now they have to live with all the pollution.

Seems they realize they got cancer in the "IQ" generating cells .... and hence unhappy.

Yeah, our people are sufficiently experienced to know the nature of the world, of course, certainly not "happiness" like the Indians, why Chinese people not like the Indians, that is we deserve, you know, high IO also does not always matter. Indians, at least, is more "happiness", Whether rich or poor.

Happiness is a good thing, really, but sometimes it is also not very good, especially for members of India here.

 

[huzihaidao12]

By the way, 40, in Chinese culture, that is "知天命", a simple translation, know the world and own destiny.

Indians have quite low expectation from their life it seems.
Also, we get enough sun, our weather is not bad.

That is a good thing, really, our culture has said, the less desire, the heart is wide, the body will be healthy.

I'd think Indians would be sad that China is using India as an electronic waste dumping ground and forcing Indians to be manual shipbreakers dying for a few cents per hour and breathing in asbestos powder, but I guessed wrong.

Alang is called by many the Indian Hell on Earth or just Hell on Earth or just Hell.

Happy, happy, joy, joy.

Chinese shipbreaking yards are far more modern than Indian ones. I said MANUAL shipbreakers; Chinese shipbreaking yards are totally automated and modern with environmental protection and containment built in.

Letters from a Farmer in Ohio: China's Shipbreakers

But the situation is changing in parts of Asia, in part because savvy Chinese steel and recycling entrepreneurs figured out that China's still relatively cheap labor allows them to offer environmentally-sound shipbreaking at prices that can't be matched in the developed world; and, in part, because Chinese workers simply won't tolerate Bangladesh-level working conditions and pay.

Compare to India:

The Shipbreakers - William Langewiesche



The workers lived just across the frontage road, in a narrow shantytown with no sanitation, and for the most part with no power. The shantytown did not have a name of its own. It stretched for several miles through the middle of Alang, and had a small central business section, with a few small grocery stalls and stand-up cafés. It was dusty, tough, and crowded. Unemployment there was high. The residents were almost exclusively men, migrants from the distant states of Orissa and Uttar Pradesh. They toiled under shipyard supervisors, typically from their home states or villages, who dispensed the jobs, generally in return for a cut from the workers' already meager pay. The workers chose to work nonetheless, because the alternatives were worse. In the morning light now, they emerged from their shacks by the thousands and moved across the frontage road like an army of the poor. They trudged through the yards' open gates, donned hard hats, picked up crowbars and sledgehammers, and lit crude cutting torches. By eight o'clock, the official start of the workday, they had sparks showering from all the ships nearby, and new black smoke rising into the distance along the shore.

Well it also mean, we wont ever achieve our potential.
As Individual we may be happy (or rather content), but as a country we will suffer.

Thats a recent change. What about all the past years when China had the biggest share of manual ship breaking industry? No compassion for those chinese who probably have cancer due to to inhaling all that asbetos? No compassion for your allies Pakistan and Bangladesh

Besides Indian yards are modernizing too

In Alang, India, 32 yards have received ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications.

Japan and the Gujarat government have joined hands to upgrade the existing Alang shipyard. The two parties have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, which focuses on technology transfer and financial assistance from Japan to assist in the upgrading of operations at Alang to meet international standards. This is a part of the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor, a larger partnership between the Japanese and Gujarati governments. Under this plan, Japan will address the environmental implications of ship breaking in Alang, as well as devising a marketing strategy. The project is to be carried out as a public-private partnership. The project's aim is to make this shipyard the largest International Maritime Organization-compliant ship recycling yard in the world.
