How Happy Indians Are ?

 

Recently UN, Sustainable Development Solutions Network, published its World Happiness Report 2021 for 149 countries. In that report, Finland, Iceland topped the list whereas Afghanistan and Zimbabwe are on the bottom of the list. Considering the current situation in Afghanistan it wasn't surprising. The Prime Minister of Finland is a lady and this is not the first time that this country topped the list. It also showcases the Female Leadership is at it's the best.

Many factors were considered while creating this report. One factor that was newly added for this year is, "How countries tackled with the situation of COVID-19?". And this factor affected the ranking of many countries. Surprisingly, India's neighbours are ahead of India in this list. For example, china is at 84th and Pakistan is at 105th position, Bangladesh is at 101st position. For this report, the questions were based on the Gallup World Poll. The answers of these questions then correlated with other factor like the GDP of the country and the Social Security. 

The current Super-Power of the world, United States of America is at the 19th position. Even Americans are not happy in their homes! The population of Finland is around maximum 60 lakhs but job culture there and facilities provided to its citizens are remarkable. Half the year the Sun doesn't come on the horizon of this country, still people are happy there. 

I liked the factors which are considered for this report. 

Those are -

1.   Gross Domestic Product Per Capita (Purchasing Power Parity).

2.   Social Support.

3.   Healthy life expectancy at birth.

4.   Freedom to make life choices.

5.   Generosity.

6.   Perceptions of corruption. 

• This year the factor to deal with COVID-19 was also there.

By applying this factors for the India's perceptive, I can personally say that, there is no Freedom to make life choices. Corruption is also main point why India's rank is so low. The people who are in the power are not aware of what is going on in the society and those who have capacity to change the world are struggling with their daily life crises. For the simple job of Peon or Office Boy, they ask for your educational qualification but to become a part of politics there is no criteria. I'm not saying that education is everything but it definitely gives you that awareness to change the society. 

 

If you’re an Indian and you are reading this, then you can personally easily relate this factors by yourself.

Why can't we build a better society for everyone, where everyone can give their the Best. There is a need of Change or a Revolution which can make everything better. Till now, do your duties honestly and try to make a difference by at least helping a single individual. The satisfaction which you will get will be beyond the words. 

Be Better Human, Be Better YOU.
