No clue actually, but it seems pretty accurate considering Afghanistan is ranked last and Finland and Denmark are at the top.

Well its western privilege to rank all western countries on top and all eastern countries behind. Thats why I don’t consider such rankings as worthy, asking individuals is nothing sensible, everyone has different opinions. Gallup polls and surveys are never a source.

That's BS, countries like Bahrain, Guatemala and Taiwan are pretty high up the list. It shouldn't come as a surprise western countries make up the top considering they are more stable and developed (duh). Plus there are plenty of European countries on the lower half of the index.

If the survey was repeated after this survey then the rankings would have changed further.
Pakistan’s ranking would have improved since so many of them are happier seeing India gone down and Indian ranking would have gone down since so many are so much unhappier seeing better performance of Pakistan.
After few back to back surveys, Pakistan might become number one and India the last. And I thought that these surveys are bullshit.
I was wrong.

The rankings are based on data collected in the years 2018 and 2019. Researchers asked people to evaluate their own levels of happiness, and considered six other factors: GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, generosity, and freedom from corruption, according to the report released Friday.
Each of the bars is divided into seven segments, showing WHR research efforts. The first six sub-bars show how much each of the six key variables is calculated to contribute to that country’s score, relative to that in a hypothetical country called “Dystopia”, so named because it has values equal to the world’s lowest national averages for 2017-2019 for each of the six key variables.

Pakistan is on 105th, Bangladesh on 101st and China on 84th, according to the report. People in war-torn Afghanistan are the most unhappy with their lives, followed by Zimbabwe (148), Rwanda (147), Botswana (146) and Lesotho (145).
The happiness study ranks the countries of the world on the basis of questions from the Gallup World Poll. The results are then correlated with other factors, including GDP and social security.
The United States ranks at 19th place for happiness, despite being one of the richest countries in the world.
Overall, the index showed little change in happiness levels compared to last years' report, which was based on information from before the Covid-19 pandemic.
--------
The World Happiness Report 2021 has been released by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network and Finland was once again crowned as the world's happiest country.
India has been ranked 139 out of 149 countries in the list of UN World Happiness Report 2021. In 2019, India was ranked 140th.
What is World Happiness Report?
The World Happiness Report is a landmark survey of the state of global happiness that ranks 149 countries by how happy their citizens perceive themselves to be.
The World Happiness Report 2021 focuses on the effects of Covid-19 and how people all over the world have fared.
The annual report ranks nations based on gross domestic product per person, healthy life expectancy and the opinions of residents. Surveys ask respondents to indicate on a 1-10 scale how much social support they feel they have if something goes wrong, their freedom to make their own life choices, their sense of how corrupt their society is and how generous they are.
“Our aim was two-fold, first to focus on the effects of COVID-19 on the structure and quality of people’s lives, and second to describe and evaluate how governments all over the world have dealt with the pandemic. In particular, we try to explain why some countries have done so much better than others," it said in a statement.
“There have been both in-person and telephone samples for India, with the in-person responses being lower than telephone responses, while significantly higher than in-person responses in 2019. Hence the reversal in 2020 of the longer-term slide in Indian life evaluations was not attributable to mode effects," it added.
Finland has been ranked as the happiest country in the world for the fourth consecutive year. The Nordic nation is followed by Iceland, Denmark, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and Norway.

you need jugad/comedy channels, Punjabi music, good/cheap food, parks, greenery in the city (more like designated spaces for it in middle of crowded cities), religion (wasn't called opium of the masses for no reason), somewhat of a picnic culture, add in welfare in healthcare nowadays - you'll be happy @VkdIndian I can assure youIf the survey was repeated after this survey then the rankings would have changed further.

These do appear to be the ingredients.
Some without these are happy and others with all these want more and are unhappy.
Human is a unique creature and difficult to please.

@SuvarnaTeja you suck up big time on this forum. Most of your posts are about painting negative picture of India. I guess in a hope to gain some traction and praise from quarters that be.
That is not an issue because you can have an opinion and convey it here and is your personal choice.
But, inspite of all this sucking up you have managed -32 negative ratings from mods.
Not a very good score.
Any case, this thread is about happiness. If this is what makes you happy then sucking up it is.
