India, March 26 -- Very recently, a "global institute" outlined an index which purported to show the "levels of happiness" in multiple countries. The results were comic. The people of India were shown as having a much lower level of "happiness" than even the population of Ukraine, not to mention other countries going through traumatic times such as Pakistan. One individual's happiness is another's boredom, or even torment, as for example reading for the purposes of an examination a book on advanced mathematics.
