Indians and Bengalis are less happy than their counterparts in Pakistan, according to a UN-sponsored study.
Generosity is a key indicator in which the Pakistanis are several points ahead of their big neighbor. Pakistan’s cabbies and shopkeepers have proved the point every time a group of Indians comes calling to watch a cricket match or visit a shrine.

India comes in at the 117th, Bangladesh is at 109th while Pakistan is ranked 81 spot out of 158 countries in the 2015 World Happiness Report. Places like Ukraine (111), Palestine (108) and Iraq (112) too come up higher than India on the index.
The report takes into account GDP per capita, life expectancy, social support and freedom to make life choices as indicators of happiness. India’s rank dropped six notches from the 2013 report, when it was on the 111th spot.
Switzerland has been named the happiest country in the world.
