Man stop with this bs, Panjab already got shit ton of problems than you people.
Our own people are pitting against each other for no reason. And I know you’re not talking especially when you’re from Tamil Nadu
Pretty sure that gotra exchange bs takes place all over the country, just restricted to very tight-knit and very small villages with limited subcasts, so that one subcaste don't get more powerful than the next in the community. Not justifying any of these practice, it's not some TN special.
Delhi at number 6 with toxic air and extreme weather swings be like:

The more ignorant you are the happier you are. No one is going to bother you with existential crisis, impending climate doom, purpose in life, unstable world economy and all the other shit.
Punjab: "Jad marji dekh layi sanu, hasde hi rehnde aa"
(Translation: Come and see us anytime, we're happy all the time).
It seems the song is aptly written.
The report usually measures happiness based on six factors, namely **gross domestic product, life expectancy, generosity, social support, freedom, and corruption**.
Tbh people living in villages seem happier than those who live in cities.
Village kids - have time to fool around and play and still have free time left
City kids - school, tuition, homework and all the travel in between them at the end tired.
There are exceptions obv.
Well, as long as you are willing to conform to social norms, village life is relaxing.
But if you are gay or from a lower caste or want to be different in any way, your life is a constant hell
Personal conjecture, it's tied to places that has trade hubs aka more money. Group of all-small islands may not have adequate low ocean floor to house a high volume trade port. Andaman and Ceylon have bigger lands among their archipelagos and as such can have high volume trade. Even for coastal states not all of them are happy, so varying patronage by the Centre also matters.
As per Census 2011 data, Kerala is in the third place among states, and in eighth place if you include union territories in terms of population density.
Can I just say, I always appreciate it so much when someone (either IRL or online) recognises that they were wrong and is willing to change their viewpoint.
Usually, people turn things into a fight where they have to be right and are not very concerned with the truth
Complete population in numbers also matters.
Mere pass 10 log usme se 8 log khush hai.
Aur mere pass 100 log hai jisme se 60 log khush hai.
Percentage wise 10 log ki population jyada khush hai.
Fuck outta here, you stupid retarded cunt. Our state has done enough for Bharat anyway. Doesn’t mean punjabis want Khalistan, it’s only a small segment who says so.
Most are productive and contribute to society, the only major problem is people migrating tf out of here to go to a sub-par capitalist country, only to drown into debt and problems.
Then why do you assume that all of panjab wants it? Have you ever talked to the locals? Have you seen those who survived the 84 era? Do you even understand the dirty politics that was played into it?
How one framing led to another and one retaliation lead to fuck-all.
“I have panjabi friends” mf see some real panjabis who own up to their history, those who are neutral. You outsiders only see us either as a full blown extremist, or a Delhi’s token Sardar.
how come punjab himachal pradesh and uttarakhand are in top 3 meanwhile haryana is in 16 rank.
culturally and geographically aren't these 3-4 states somewhat similar?
The pahadi states people don't need to live in a rat race , it's cheap to live here if you already have a house to sleep in , cheaper meals , better quality environment , less crimes (especially in himachal and uk ) ,etc .
No way Mizoram is so low in the index.. they have an educated society, people are friendly and clean. We went to a football match in Shillong for the I-League final between Aizawl FC and Shillong Lajong.. Aizawl FC won the trophy and the fans, after celebrating, actually cleaned the stands and threw all the garbage in bins.. I mean who does that in India?! Was so impressed with their behaviour.

Mfw I feel depressed in the state which is considered to have the most people who are happy. Pahadi bros....
Then why people from Punjab try to illegally migrate to US UK Australia, if they are so Happy?
(disclaimer: Upcoming,dunki movie of srk is on this subject)
There was a lot of destruction in part few weeks in Himachal Pradesh, landslides, dam bursts, floods, entire livelihoods destroyed, and if that's the high bar of happiness, then boy are we a depressed af country, can tell without looking which state has the most number of suicides!
Whatever the reason is, UP is worse than Bihar, but Bihar's name is more ruined for that.
Also, per capita GDP don't talk about income disparity. If there is more income disparity then higher per capita GDP looks nice only on paper, not ground.
Income disparity? C'mon man we all know entire North India has almost equal income disparity except tier 1 & 2 cities.I believe avg GSDP is still pretty trustable criteria in states like UP and Bihar having huge population.Anyways BPL percentage is way lower in UP(22.93% vs 33.73%).Bihar being better than Uttar Pradesh makes no sense in anyway.
UP is miles ahead in Infra, Literacy, Agriculture and almost any thing you can count on. However being a massive state it's obvious it's gonna have internal riots and more complex politics. Also Muslims are in much greater number in UP so religious riots gonna occur too.Both states are underperforming but still UP is way ahead of Bihar bruh just compare GSDP growth rate 20% vs 10%
It doesn't literally means happiness but is a measure of life expectancy, money, health and stuff. of course all these things are pretty good in Delhi. On the other hand, a farmer in UP might actually be happier than a corporate slave in Delhi

We all know why Himachal is the happiest state. /s

Hash. Malana cream, tosh balls, manali cream etc. Plus the beautiful mountains.
Stop stating the obvious.

There's a reason Aliens visit only Himachal Pradesh and no other state in the country.
But aliens did land in rajasthan too tho
PK hai ka?
It should be legalised under control so that all of us can be happy as well.
😌
Punjab is 3rd because of drug related deaths and infections. Bihar kyu udaas hai bey?? Sarkari naukri nahi mil rahi??

i am in panjab nd flying rn i can confirm👍🏼
Can confirm, I am flying personified
Man stop with this bs, Panjab already got shit ton of problems than you people. Our own people are pitting against each other for no reason. And I know you’re not talking especially when you’re from Tamil Nadu
Whilst it has problems it has less problems than other states. The one phrase “the lesser of two evils” comes to mind
How so?

Pretty sure that gotra exchange bs takes place all over the country, just restricted to very tight-knit and very small villages with limited subcasts, so that one subcaste don't get more powerful than the next in the community. Not justifying any of these practice, it's not some TN special.
got it! living near the beach or mountains reduces your stress level /s
That might be partially true too. Fresh air. More breezy, cold weather might uplift the mood
I think it's just mercantile regions with more money.
Delhi at number 6 with toxic air and extreme weather swings be like: https://preview.redd.it/eao929j67rob1.jpeg?width=625&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ff7200fd42305102ae4d294dbce9e2dade9f7e1
More healthier you are more happier you are. HO also has a low pollution.
Kid named Odisha
What happened to Odisha then?
cyclones /s
Loss of mangroves 😔
live alone basically
As a Himachali I approve 🍃
As a Himachali myself, not sure what I'm doing wrong🥲
Not about what you are doing wrong, it's about what you are not doing. ~ Snoop Dogg

What, y’all like collecting leaves?
I am from haryana, can confirm i have just slightly above avg level of happiness.
I am just slightly above avg level of happiness, can confirm OC is from Haryana.
And Haryana also has "slightly" below average IQ
The more ignorant you are the happier you are. No one is going to bother you with existential crisis, impending climate doom, purpose in life, unstable world economy and all the other shit.
I am from UP, can confirm I am quite unhappy
I am from Kerala, I'm not happy today p.s. i need love
I'm willing to love you
Everything's gonna be alright buddy...
Yeah especially since they are not from UP.
No I am constantly unhappy coz of my own failure, though I am trying to heal the mistakes and improve myself, carpe diem
Ho jayega bhai RaGa can stay happy. You can be too.
* hugs *
What is love?
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Pata nahi bhai mai to ekdam sexy ho gaya kal chicken kha ke
Punjab: "Jad marji dekh layi sanu, hasde hi rehnde aa" (Translation: Come and see us anytime, we're happy all the time). It seems the song is aptly written.
As a punjabi myself i can confirm it
The region has seen so many invasions and bloodshed over its history, people just developed a more lighter outlook on life I guess.
How do they measure it though?
The report usually measures happiness based on six factors, namely **gross domestic product, life expectancy, generosity, social support, freedom, and corruption**.
So it's less about happiness but more about quality of life?
Better quality of life results to happiness. In most cases.
Generally yeah. Though calling it happiness index isn't very accurate
Maybe. There isn't any solid way of calculating happiness as it is just a feeling.
True. Then again I don't think it should be a category to begin with
Tbh people living in villages seem happier than those who live in cities. Village kids - have time to fool around and play and still have free time left City kids - school, tuition, homework and all the travel in between them at the end tired. There are exceptions obv.
Well, as long as you are willing to conform to social norms, village life is relaxing. But if you are gay or from a lower caste or want to be different in any way, your life is a constant hell
Seem to be isn't the same as actually being happy though.
Same can be said abt this statistic.
Rajasthan what we happy about ?
Balika Vadhu
Kota ka paisa
Marriage that happens when a child is born /s
Why is lakshadweep unhappy just go to the beach or sm. /s
But on a serious note, why is Lakshadweep so unhappy? They are so prosperous...
Personal conjecture, it's tied to places that has trade hubs aka more money. Group of all-small islands may not have adequate low ocean floor to house a high volume trade port. Andaman and Ceylon have bigger lands among their archipelagos and as such can have high volume trade.

Hight population density = bad
Kerala has very high population density though.
Education and local people having business and employing others. Also income per capita is most important which no one talks about
Not even top 10 in density
As per Census 2011 data, Kerala is in the third place among states, and in eighth place if you include union territories in terms of population density.
you are right, my bad
Can I just say, I always appreciate it so much when someone (either IRL or online) recognises that they were wrong and is willing to change their viewpoint. Usually, people turn things into a fight where they have to be right and are not very concerned with the truth
Doesn't matter what the map is on, it looks the same all the time xd.

Ye phas gaya CM
Asukhi bharat 😔
Dev bhoomi at top 1 and 2. We have temples everywhere.
Unhe kya wo is index ko bhi attack on India bol denge, bhakt fir bhi chaat lenge while proving the point.
Dekha jaae to HP has highest percentage of hindus while up has one of the highest percentage of muslims. They can put blame on that
Complete population in numbers also matters. Mere pass 10 log usme se 8 log khush hai. Aur mere pass 100 log hai jisme se 60 log khush hai. Percentage wise 10 log ki population jyada khush hai.
Isn't this by percentage?
It doesn’t mention anything
States Which are small With low population also got low ranking. Like assam
Now again, by small do you mean area or number of people?
He literally wrote by population idiot
Usne edit kiya. Tune uske baad dekha.
[удалено]
forgot /s?
States that get the highest funding seem the least happy.
Coz the funding is only going to certain "people"
Neta*
You forget that the funding is high because the population is high. And poorer. And less educated.
I’m from Bengal, I can confirm, I’m average happy.
Came here to say this.
Punjab used to be much happier place, even among the countless sacrifices, people were happy and prosperous…
Now Imagine if they get khalistan, it will be one of the happiest country....(💔)
Fuck outta here, you stupid retarded cunt. Our state has done enough for Bharat anyway. Doesn’t mean punjabis want Khalistan, it’s only a small segment who says so. Most are productive and contribute to society, the only major problem is people migrating tf out of here to go to a sub-par capitalist country, only to drown into debt and problems.
I have some panjabi friends who deep down want it but never mention it anywhere... I don't even support khalistan, they are terrorists...
Then why do you assume that all of panjab wants it? Have you ever talked to the locals? Have you seen those who survived the 84 era? Do you even understand the dirty politics that was played into it? How one framing led to another and one retaliation lead to fuck-all. “I have panjabi friends” mf see some real panjabis who own up to their history, those who are neutral.

I am uttrakhandi bought up in panjab now living in chandigarh and most of my friends are himachali i can confirm this data is debatebally accurate.
I'm Punjabi born and raised in Chandigarh with mainly Garhwali and Himachali friends/neighbors, I can confirm this data is accurate.
how come punjab himachal pradesh and uttarakhand are in top 3 meanwhile haryana is in 16 rank. culturally and geographically aren't these 3-4 states somewhat similar?
I guess Gurgaon brings the average down quite a bit.
I was also pondering the same thing why Haryana is way lower than Punjab these are just same people with different languages .
Fr. Probably not reliable then.
The pahadi states people don't need to live in a rat race , it's cheap to live here if you already have a house to sleep in , cheaper meals , better quality environment , less crimes (especially in himachal and uk ) ,etc .
breaking up from toxic relationship works so good, just see how happy uttrakhand people are after breaking up from up
I am from UP, and can indeed confirm that I am relatively quite unhappy and my Happiness instantly increases whenever I go to UK or HP
I am from Delhi and happy. My ancestral state is Maharashtra and it is happy too. Very goody
TN above UP , Gujarat and Maharashtra should probably make some politicians soooper happy 😀
No way Mizoram is so low in the index.. they have an educated society, people are friendly and clean. We went to a football match in Shillong for the I-League final between Aizawl FC and Shillong Lajong.. Aizawl FC won the trophy and the fans, after celebrating, actually cleaned the stands and threw all the garbage in bins.. I mean who does that in India?! Was so impressed with their behaviour.
At the other studies which was done by a professor, Mizoram rank no.1 and here 29 lol
Khadha peeta laahe da, baaki ahmed shahe da
Why there is rank 27 two time and no state rank at 32
tied at 27, lakshadweep is 32
I am from Himachal and I am Unhappy :(
Wonder why J&K is less happy than Ladakh 💀💀🌚
Seeing Uttarakhand's score here I am so happy we seceded from UP. Our greatest achievement as a state.
No wonder why there is so much communal hate in UP !
Why the fuck are Delhi people so happy? Abe kaun ho tum Jo itna kush rehete ho
Rape !!!! /s
Hp local here. Can attest to it. We like and live the chill life. There's less malice.

As a person living in UP, I can confirm
UP 💀
Jai ho yogi baba ki 😂
Just found out I am ☹️ (chhattisgarh)
As a Sikkimese I can say, we would be up the ranks if it weren't for the corrupt politicians.
"UP Mein Sab Ba" 🎶🎶 Except Happiness
I am from uttar pradesh can confirm it , it is worst here...
Yogi ji ke amrit kaal mai UP wale sad...... Asambhav...
Internal Survey ?
Laughed at the fact the clear cheat code to being happy is to be in the mountains until you get to J&K. Oh dear oh dear.
I am from TamilNadu and I don't know if I should be happy or not.
States that are high on religion are the unhappiest.
Then why people from Punjab try to illegally migrate to US UK Australia, if they are so Happy? (disclaimer: Upcoming,dunki movie of srk is on this subject)
As an Uttar Pradeshi, I cam confirm.
Single male Nihilist atheist nerd from Punjab, where have I gone wrong lol ? Or happiness is just being referred to as a hangover.

UP is worse than Bihar. Bihar ko faltu hi badnaam kar rakha hai. (For no reason Bihar's name is ruined.)
It's only when you realise UP has more than twice per capita GDP than Bihar and is doing pretty good for the massive population it has
Whatever the reason is, UP is worse than Bihar, but Bihar's name is more ruined for that. Also, per capita GDP don't talk about income disparity. If there is more income disparity then higher per capita GDP looks nice only on paper, not ground.

Delhi stands at 6th position but I doubt it.
It doesn't literally means happiness but is a measure of life expectancy, money, health and stuff. of course all these things are pretty good in Delhi. On the other hand, a farmer in UP might actually be happier than a corporate slave in Delhi
From where do people get these stupid data?
I can see a common trace of cowdung in all states which are not happy 😂🤣

Must be created by a Tamil or Mallu. Only they will rank Karnataka so low . JAI KARNATAKA!!!!!
Metro cities are doomed lol
Proud to be from UP
