Why is India Less Happy Than Pakistan?

[feedermen]

So you think the most materialistic societies in the West are the happiest because of lower expectations?

Material possessions has very little to do with happiness. Look at the Bhutanese people. They are the poorest in material possessions but are one of the most happiest people. Happiness is mostly dependent on present circumstances and the immediate environment. A child is most happy with a cheap toy car, but the same child when he gets older lusts for expensive cars and is not happy if he is not able to achieve it. A poor person who lives in the poor neighborhood all his life will be more happy than a middle-class guy living in a rich neighborhood. It all depends on a persons outlook on life and his aspirations for the future.

So why aren't the Bhutanese in the top 10? Why is Bhutan ranked 79 for happiness?

Do you understand the concept of TFR? I dont like to question a learned man like yourself but please know that India's TFR is lower than that of Pakistan and is reaching the sustainable 2.1

TFR is not as important as the nation's ability to absorb higher population based on population density and available resources to sustain it. India fares poorly on both of these counts. Too many people crammed in too little space.

This is ridiculous. You cant scale happiness. Its all about satisfaction. If you are satisfied , you are happy. And this is a joke if you say that pakistani people are satisfied with the satuation of Pakistan right now.

Try to research how many people are drug addicts in Pakistan and the total population and also try to wonder if the ones that did this survery included the drug addicts.

Pakistanis are more happy than India because they are accustomed to daily killings and bomb blasts happening all around the country. They keep no hope in their lives. They are happy with whatever little they have got.

In India we are not happy with the crimes and our expectations from Government is also high. So, whenever it fails, we tend to get unhappy.

Holding Your Breath in [HASHTAG]#India[/HASHTAG] [HASHTAG]#pollution[/HASHTAG] http://nyti.ms/1eCMCxj by Gardiner Harris in New Delhi fir NY Times

We gradually learned that Delhi’s true menace came from its air, water, food and flies. These perils sicken, disable and kill millions in India annually, making for one of the worst public health disasters in the world. Delhi, we discovered, is quietly suffering from a dire pediatric respiratory crisis, with a recent study showing that nearly half of the city’s 4.4 million schoolchildren have irreversible lung damage from the poisonous air.
------------
And children are by no means the only ones harmed. Many adults suffer near-constant headaches, sore throats, coughs and fatigue. Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi’s chief minister, had to leave the city for 10 days in March to cure a chronic cough.

It’s not just the air that inflicts harm. At least 600 million Indians, half the total population, defecate outdoors, and most of the effluent, even from toilets, is dumped untreated into rivers and streams. Still, I never thought this would come home to my family quite as dramatically as it did.

We live in a four-year-old, five-story apartment building that my wife chose because its relatively new windows could help shut out Delhi’s appalling nighttime air. Its cookie-cutter design — by the same developer who built dozens of others in the neighborhood — gave us confidence that things would function, by no means assured for new construction here.

About six months after we moved in, one of our neighbors reported that her tap water suddenly smelled like sewage. Then the smell hit another neighbor and another. It turned out that the developer had dug open channels for sewage that had gradually seeped into each apartment’s buried water tank. When we pulled up the floor tiles on the ground floor, brown sludge seemed to be everywhere.

I was in the shower when this sewage mixture arrived in our apartment. Sounds horrible, but I shrugged and toweled off because that smell is such a frequent presence here.

For much of the year, the Yamuna River would have almost no flow through Delhi if not for raw sewage. Add in the packs of stray dogs, monkeys and cattle even in urban areas, and fresh excretions are nearly ubiquitous. Insects alight on these excretions and then on people or their food, sickening them.


Most piped water here is contaminated. Poor sanitation may be a crucial reason nearly half of India’s children are stunted.

The list of health threats sounds harrowing when considered together, but life goes on and can be quite nice here. Our apartment building eventually installed aboveground water tanks. My children’s school and travel in the region are terrific, and many expats are far more influential here than they would be in their home countries.

Yet one afternoon this spring, someone in our neighborhood burned something toxic, and an astringent cloud spread around our block. My wife was out walking with a friend, and their eyes became teary and their throats began to close. They bolted back inside our apartment where they found Bram gasping again, for the first time in two years. In some places in Delhi, the levels of fine particles that cause the most lung damage, called PM2.5, routinely exceed 1,000 in winter in part because small trash and other fires are so common, according to scientists. In Beijing, PM2.5 levels that exceed 500 make international headlines; here, levels twice that high are largely ignored.

[HASHTAG]#India[/HASHTAG] ranks behind [HASHTAG]#Pakistan[/HASHTAG] and [HASHTAG]#Iraq[/HASHTAG] on the World Happiness Index. Why is India unhappy? India ranks behind Pakistan and Iraq on the World Happiness Index. Why is India unhappy? - SocialStory … via @_SocialStory


India ranks behind Pakistan and Iraq on the World Happiness Index. Why is India unhappy?


Why is India unhappy? The World Happiness index takes into account factors like GDP per capita, social support of having someone to count on in times of trouble, freedom to make life choices, healthy life expectancy, generosity and perceptions of corruption. Seems like half the question is answered, isn’t it? As I dug deeper into finding out why we are unhappy as a nation, I happened to stumble upon a host of disturbing facts and statistics: A 13 year analysis of Crime Data reveals there is one rape every 30 minutes in India One in five cases of honour killing internationally every year comes from India (United Nations) The rate of malnutrition cases among children in India is almost five times more than in China and twice than in Sub-Saharan Africa (The World Bank Report) 12 million children spend their childhood at work and not in a classroom (Census 2011) 270 million persons live below the Tendulkar Poverty Line (NSSO Survey 2013) In addition to these startling facts, the scams and controversies which keep popping up every other day are only adding to the misery.


Our so called ‘resistance’ to a lot of mishaps occurring around us has often been misquoted as ‘strength’ and this is exactly where we are going wrong. We need to take note, speak up and not ‘resist’. While it’s alright to be resilient, the onus lies upon each of us to make the quality of living better for both ourselves and those around us. This along with changes in our public policies can go a long way in improving our quality of life. The rank however is only a number, do good every day,be intolerant towards injustice and follow public discipline, because happiness like everything else, is a result of your own deeds. ... read more on social.yourstory.com
