They pick up a number of people does a survey, ask them few questions hopefully they answer honestly.

It doesn't matter if you're Socially and Economically weak as a country, if you fair well in other indicators your ranks shoot up so don't be surprised to see Libyans happier than Chinese

Or Nigeria who now have nearly half of it's people living in extreme poverty again fairing better than China.

There's one important measure... There are more poor people in India than in Pakistan (percentage of total population)

I know that India is catching up fast, but it will still take a few years.

No. Nearly 40% of Pakistanis are poor. Which is 27% in India, but in numbers it is very high amounts to some 300+ million so the scale of poverty reduction required in comparison to Pak you could get out of this much easier.

I agree Indians arent more happy. Its becoz of the society always wanting to do better and excel. More ambitions, need for a better living standard, more expectations, even China is lower than Pakistan, proving my point. The reasons for unhappiness is important. An index about ambitions or goals i had seen years back rated indians are the most willing and ambitious.

US, Canada and Europe should be dirt happy, considering your stupid vedic logic

They are saying that becoz of 27th feb they are happy. Probably our standard for happiness is much higher, it is we to blame, we want to have a high living standard, good education, good economy, want to be a global power, want to explore the space, be in forefront of technology, meet our parents expectations, etc etc. We are not so happy go lucky to find satisfaction in life after a military skirmish. Jeez

And extreme poverty in Pakistan is 1%.. the two percent difference when compared to your population size is huge.. anyway, I don't want to enter into any D measuring contest here.. what I have seen is that Pakistanis are happier than the other neighbors and one reason I could think of is undocumented economy of Pakistan..

Wealth Report: Pakistan Middle Class Larger & Richer Than India's

Pakistan’s middle class consists of over 6.27 million adults, according to wealth criteria used by Credit Suisse in its Global Wealth Report 2015. It represents 5.7% share of Pakistan’s total adult population of 111 million, almost twice as large as India’s middle class made up of 3% of its adult population based on the same criteria.

...so the difference is quite big, Pakistan middle class consists of 5.7% of total adult population and India's middle class consists of 3% of their total adult population.

In absolute numbers India will be ahead with 1.35 billion population and with 3% of the population regarded as middle class, in percentile Pakistan is ahead with 210 million population and with 5.7% consists of middle class, adult population.
