Abstract: This study explores the enigma of happiness inequality between India and Pakistan, despite Indias economic prowess. Employing inequality regression models, the study pinpoints crucial factors contributing to happiness inequality between the two countries, including age, gender, education, and geopolitical considerations. The explained effect dominates, emphasising the impact of measurable factors, yet the unexplained effect hints at elusive influences. Findings emphasise the need for comprehensive policies addressing both tangible and intangible aspects to foster comprehensive well-being in both nations.
