India's ranking in the World Happiness Report 2025 does not reflect the country’s true well-being, according to spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. "Poverty is not really linked to happiness or unhappiness. You find, in fact, in the slums of India, there are people who are more happy,” he said. “There is more bonding, less selfishness. Poor people share their resources much more than those who have them."
Speaking to a group of media reporters on Mar.20, he expressed skepticism over India’s position at 118, arguing that happiness in the country goes beyond the metrics used in the global index.
