The Indian common man and the road the happiness
On April 28, Hariman Sharma, a farmer from the hills of Himachal Pradesh, walked up barefoot to Rashtrapati Bhavan's Durbar Hall to receive the Padma Shri from the President of India. He had developed a new variety of apple that could be cultivated in tropical or sub-tropical climate regions, potentially enabling it to be grown almost anywhere in our country. Sharma is not a government scientist or a researcher in a multinational biotech company. He is a common man. What does it mean to be a common man in India? A battle to make ends meet? Stealing moments of happiness before harsh reality creeps up? The World Happiness Index 2025, an initiative of Gallup, the University of Oxford and the UN's Sustainable Development Solutions Network, ranked India 118th among 147 countries. The ranking is based on people's self-evaluation of their lives. So, we have ranked ourselves lower than most of the world. A large portion of our economy thrives on our perceived unhappiness. From Bollywood to the health-supplement industry, everyone wants us to believe that they can bring joy into our lives. This pursuit of happiness is fuelled not by an inner striving for emancipation but by a confluence of images which seem to suggest a lack of meaning in our lives. With the information revolution, a new and powerful driver of unhappiness has emerged: FOMO. Our addiction to social media keeps us always wanting to not just keep up with our peers, but do better than them. In One-Dimensional Man (1964), Herbert Marcuse prophesied a world in which consumerism and mass media stifle originality. They create a 'blissful slave' , who is kept preoccupied due to the creation and pursuit of 'false needs'. He wasn't completely correct. We are far from being blissful. The pursuit of false needs hasn't been an entirely fulfilling affair. What we need in our lives determines our happiness, and unfortunately, we haven't really been good at identifying these needs, let alone planning a path towards achieving satisfaction. Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal ruffled a few sentiments when he chided Indian start-ups for concentrating on food delivery apps when their Chinese counterparts were developing deep tech. What exactly is the need10-minute delivery apps are fulfilling? The need for instant gratification? In contrast, people like Sharma are quietly working towards fulfilling real needs. Hailing from Paniala village in Bilaspur (HP), Sharma observed apple seeds discarded in his backyard take root and grow into a fruit-bearing tree despite the warm, unfriendly climate. This set him off on a journey of experimentation that led to the development of the HRMN-99 apple. Similarly, Arunachalam Muruganantham designed and produced machines that produce low-cost sanitary napkins — these have benefitted 13 million women. He has created over 25,000 jobs with his invention. The movie, Pad Man (2018), winner of a National Award in 2019, was based on his story. Muruganantham was conferred the Padma Shri in 2016. Yanung Jamoh Lego from Arunachal Pradesh has popularised nature's herbal remedies. Her methods offer affordable and culturally rooted healthcare. She has helped revive traditional healing, empowered local women, and promoted sustainable health practices. Over 300,000 patients have been reported cured using her medicines. Yanung was conferred the Padma Shri last year. These stories have another thing in common. The National Innovation Foundation, an autonomous organisation under the Department of Science and Technology, nurtured their innovations. It has funded and supported 13 such common men and women who have later won the Padma Shri. Our society needs more such organisations. The theme of the World Happiness Report for 2025 is caring and sharing. We need to find more ways as a society to start caring for others around us.

Pratima Barwa, the coach who gave wings to Adivasi hockey players
Chances are that most outside the modest Indian hockey universe would not have heard of Pratima Barwa. Perhaps she preferred it that way. Barwa, who passed away on Sunday aged 44 due to a brain haemorrhage, dedicated her life to hockey. She did what few could — identify and nurture young talents in one of the sport's biggest catchment areas, Jharkhand's Simdega. Because of her efforts, Indian hockey is in a better place — three players, including captain Salima Tete, are currently part of the national team that is in Europe for the FIH Pro League. Grassroots coaching is one of the most unglamorous parts of sport because of the lack of incentive. Yet, without such coaches, the sporting ecosystem would be a non-starter. Selfless coaches like Barwa, who was from Khunti, have kept Indian hockey running. Her academy was rudimentary, and some of the coaching methods were, possibly, archaic. But Barwa, described as a 'mother figure' by her wards, did something far more impactful — she got children hooked to hockey and gave wings to their dreams. Barwa's own aspirations to play for India were unfulfilled. She played for Bihar in the early 1990s. However, a left knee ligament injury in 1995 cut short her playing career. She then promised herself that she would help young players from the region. Barwa's journey as a coach began in 2008 after she completed a diploma from the National Institute of Sport in Patiala. A job with the Jharkhand government as a coach took her to Simdega, and the hard yards began. From sunrise to sunset, she would travel to schools and villages where there was the slightest promise of talent, convince the families to let their child play hockey and then groom them into world-class talents. Barwa never got the recognition she deserved. Her legacy will, however, be there for all to see each time the Indian team steps onto the hockey field.
