A recent study undertaken by MTV Networks International(MTVNI)found that Indian youth are the happiest in the world.In the biggest ever study of kids and young people,India is followed by sweden with USA coming third.The Japanese are the most miserable
The study found that the young people in the developing world are optimistic though faced with greater challanges than their counterparts in the developed world who are happy despite all the material wealth.
The study which took 6 months to complete covered 5,200 individuals in two age groups-8-15 year olds and 16-34 year olds across 14 countries.

Is Indian youth really happy??such an easy question yet so difficult to answer.Each one of us may have different view but,as an average indian youth i see ahead of me a brim future.Im not happy with current situation prevailin in India,not that im botherd about Indian team's pathetic defeat in cricket world cup or the ULFA attacks in assam.For each one of us there is a tag "me"associated with anythin and everythin.Im deeply worried about things that has the potential to shake ma world.Im deeply hurt by the degradation in moral values within the generation X...were are we headin to???America 10 years back???old age homes are gettin filled up.Is this what the Indian youths are meant to be?? throwin out parents once they are past their prime...im deeply concerned about ma future.... with reservation issue hangin in balance i may not be able to get admission to an elite institution...what am i worth of in the IT industry with lakhs of engineerin graduates passin out each year???im more concerned of leakage of outsourcin jobs from india to vietnam or korea..with livin expences sky rocketin were will i stay???...pollution,increase in crime rates,poor pay package,competition,peer pressure,lifestyle....
now time to ponder "IS INDIAN YOUTH REALLY THE HAPPY LOT???"
